NUMBER 1
Design an AC-coupled common emitter amplifier with a gain of 10 and a lower frequency limit of 100 Hz. The amplifier will
operate from a 15V power supply and the collector should be biased to 7.5V. The signal source will be a 50 Ω function generator.
Make sure that the input impedance of the amplifier is at least 10 times greater than the source impedance. Use an NPN 2N3904
transistor. The amplifier will drive a 10k load resistor. Simulate your schematic with a transient analysis showing input and
output. Use a smsall input signal around 100 mV and show that the gain is around 10. Simulate your schematic with an AC
analysis showing that the lower corner frequency is near 100 Hz.

Design an AC-coupled emitter follower to drive a 25 Ω load to 1V p-p. The amplifier will operate from a
15V supply. Use a source impedance of 1k. This models a previous amplifier stage. Select an emitter
resistor that does not exceed the ¼ watt rating of the resistor. This analysis is explained in the background
section. Simulate your schematic with a transient analysis showing input and output. Use an input signal
around 1V and show what your gain (loss) is. Simulate your schematic with an AC analysis showing that
the lower corner frequency is near 300 Hz.
