DESIGN PROCEDURE:

Select transistor BC107b having the following specifications,

Ie=Ic= 2mA; =215; Vce=5v; Vcc=2Vce =>10v


To find Re

Choose Ve =Vcc/10=10/10 =1 v

Ve = Ie*Re =>Re=Ve / Ie

Re = 1 / Ie =1 / 2mA = 0.5K

Select Re = 560


To find Rc

Choose Vce = Vcc / 2 =10/2=5 v

Apply KVL in CE loop:

Vcc- (IcRc) - Vce -
Vre=0 10v-(2mA* Rc)
5v 1v=0 Rc = (10v-
5v-1v) / 2mA

Rc = 2K

Select Rc= 2.2K


To find R1 & R2

Vb = Vbe + Ve => 0.7v + 1v = 1.7v

Vb =(Vcc*R2) / ( R1 + R2 )

1.7v = (10v*R2) / ( R1 + R2 ) => R2/(R1+
R2)=1.7v/10v 10 R2 = 1.7 R1 +1.7 R2

R1= 4.8* R2

Select R2 =4.7K


R1 = 4.8 * 4.7K => R1 = 22.56K

Select R1 = 27K


To find Bypass capacitor Ce:

Let Xce = Re / 10, at f = 100 Hz; 1/(2*f*Ce) = Re / 10

Therefore Ce=10 / (2*100 Hz *560 ) =31.8 micro farad

Choose Ce=50 micro F (electrolytic)


To find Cc1 and CC2:

Assume CC1 & CC2 = 0.47 micro F (ceramic)


To design:

Xcc1 = (Hie||Rb)/10, Xcc1 =1/ (2*f*Cc1), Cc1=?

Xcc2 = (Rc||Rl)/10, Xcc2 =1/ (2*f*Cc2), Cc2=?


PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit as shown above.

2. Feed a sine wave signal of amplitude 20 mV from signal generator.

3. Keep the frequency of the signal generator in mid band range i.e., around 2 KHz. Increase
amplitude of the input signal till the output signal is undistorted.(CRO at output).

4. Measure Vi amplitude =__________V for corresponding maximum undistorted output.

5. Measure Vo amplitude =__________V

6. The ratio of (Vo/Vi) max gives the maximum undistorted gain of the amplifier.

7. Now vary the input sine wave frequency from 10 Hz to 1 MHz in suitable steps. Measure

output voltage amplitude at each step using CRO. (See that amplitude of Vi remains constant

throughout the frequency range. )

8. Tabulate the results in the tabular column shown below.

9. Plot the frequency i.e., frequency versus Gain in dB, determine Bandwidth and
G.B.W product.

Take the readings for 100 Hz to 1Khz in 100Hz steps, 1Khz to 10Khz in 1Kz steps, 10khz to
100khz in 10khz steps, 100khz to 1mHz in 100kHz steps (total 37 readings) Note down Vi (P-
P).
