PSPICE and MATLAB for Electronics: An Integrated Approach

8.15 For Problem 8.14, determine the low cut-off frequency, high
­cut-off frequency, and the bandwidth as the function of the
feedback resistance RF.
8.16 For the two-stage amplifier with shunt-series feedback is shown
in Figure P8.14. RB1 = 60 KΩ, RB2 = 80 KΩ, RS = 100 Ω, RC1 = 8
KΩ, RE1 = 2.5 KΩ, RB3 = 50 KΩ, RB4 = 60 KΩ, RC2 = 5  KΩ,
RE2 = 1 KΩ, RF = 2 KΩ, C1 = 20µF, CE = 100 µF, and C2 = 20 µF.
If input voltage VS is a sinusoidal voltage with a peak value of
1 mV, determine the voltage gain and bandwidth as a function
of the supply voltage VCC (8 V to 12 V). Assume that both tran-
sistors Q1 and Q2 are Q2N3904.
8.17 For Example 8.10 if VS = 1 mV and frequency of the source is
5 KHz, find the input resistance as RF varies from 1 KΩ to 8 KΩ.
8.18 In Figure P8.13, if RS = 1 KΩ, RL = 10 KΩ, RF = 20 KΩ, and
VCC = •VEE• = 15 V. Find the gain, Vo/VS if R1 varies from 1 KΩ
to 10 KΩ. Plot voltage gain with respect to R1. Assume that the
Op Amp is UA741 and the input voltage VS is sinusoidal wave-
form with a frequency of 2 KHz and a peak voltage of 1 mV.
8.19 For the Darlington amplifier shown Figure P8.12, RB = 60 KΩ,
RS = 90 Ω, RE = 1000 Ω, C1 = 10 µF, and transistors Q1 and Q2
are both Q2N2222. If VCC varies from 10 V to 15 V, determine
the voltage gain as a function of VCC. Assume that input volt-
age VS is sinusoidal waveform with a frequency of 1 KHz and a
peak value of 5 mV.
8.20 For the common-emitter biasing network, shown in Figure 8.6,
VCC = 10 V, RB1 = 60 KΩ, RB2 = 40 KΩ, RE = 1 KΩ, RC = 6 KΩ, and
Q1 is Q2N2222. (a) Find the sensitivity of the voltage at the col-
lector to amplifier components.
