Experiment No. 07
Multistage BJT CC-CB Amplifier
OBJECTIVE
Construct an RC coupled Multistage Amplifier with Common Collector and Common Base
Amplifier stages and analyze its performance in terms of gain.

EQUIPMENT

Instruments Components
• Transistors: 2N3904 (02)
• Digital Multimeter (DMM) • Resistors: 10 kΩ (03), 68 kΩ, 6.8 k Ω (02), 1 k Ω
• Oscilloscope with probes.
• Capacitors: 0.1 F (02), 10µF (02)
• Function generator.

THEORY

In this configuration first stage is a Common Collector amplifier which will act as current
amplifier stage and the voltage gain of this stage will be approximately 1. Further the input
Impedance of this stage is high and output impedance is low so this stage will act as buffer.
Second stage is Common Base Amplifier stage the voltage gain of this stage will be high
whereas current gain will be low. Input impedance of this stage will be low and output
impedance will be high. So the overall gain of this circuit will be low frequency
approximately same as that of Common Base Amplifier

PROCEDURE

1. Using a Multimeter, measure the value of all Resistors and Capacitors being used in
the circuit. Also verify working of your BJT by testing it with DMM.
2. To find Q point:
Connect the circuit without Vin and capacitors. Set Vcc= 15V. Measure dc voltages at the
base VB1, VB2, collector Vc1, VC2 and Emitter VE1, VE2 with respect to ground. Determine VCE1,
VCE2 and IE1, IC2. The Q points are respectively Q1 (VCE1, IE1) and Q2 (VCE2,IC2).
3. Now connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
4. Mid-band Gain and Mid-band frequency:
a. Connect the signal generator and apply a sine wave of peak-to peak amplitude 1
 V at 10 kHz.
b. Connect input (Vin) and first stage output VO1 and actual output VO of the circuit
separately to oscilloscope channels and observe the waveforms.
c. Vary the frequency of the input signal (between 1 kHz till 1 MHz) till the output signal VO
maximizes.
d. If the output signal becomes distorted, reduce the input signal amplitude till the
output signal is free of distortion.
e. Once maximum is achieved, note down the peak to peak amplitude of Vin, VO1 and VO.
f. Calculate Mid-band voltage gain of both amplifier stages using the values evaluated in
last step AV1 = VO1/Vin and AV2 = VO/ VO1 and overall voltage gain GV= AV1 x AV2.
g. The frequency at which maximum gain is achieved is the mid-band frequency.

5. Observations:
a. Write down your observations in the Conclusions portion.
