AMPLIFIER
I. OBJECTIVES
1. To investigate the amplifying action of a bipolar junction transistor as common-collector
amplifier circuit configuration.
3. To simulate the output signal of a common-collector using oscilloscope with the given input
signal and its voltage phase relationship.
And since the common-collector amplifier has zero degrees phase-shift, and the output voltage
waveform in the emitter is almost identical to the input voltage waveform in the collector (the emitter
‘follows’ the collector), the common-collector amplifier is also called as emitter-follower.
Other characteristics of a common-collector amplifier include high input impedance and a low
output impedance.
