Transistor can be used as an amplifier in any one of the configuration. Any of its terminals can be made common to input & output. This common terminal is usually grounded. The connection is then described in terms of common terminal. In this configuration emitter current IE is the input current &collector current IC is the output current. The input voltages applied between the emitter and base. Whereas output is taken out from the collector and base. Input characteristics:The input characteristics are plotted between emitter current IE and emitter base voltage VEB for constant value of VCB. I/P characteristics shows that if VEB is less cut in voltage or knee /threshold voltage then IE is negligibly small. After this as VEB increases its value is 0.3V for Ge transistor & about 0.5V for Si transistor. For a given operating point input or dynamic resistance is given by, VEB Ri = ---------- IE at VCB = constant

It may be noted that input char is linear in the upper region but Non linear (i.e. curved) in the lower region.

Theory:One of the most used circuits in the transistor applications is the common emitter audio amplifier. This circuit performs a variety of functions, is fairly easy to design and gives good performance. Stages are capacitance coupled for AC operation and DC stability.

R10 = 1K, R2 = 3K, R3 = 6K, C0 = 0.1. f, Q1 = Q2 = BC548 Circuit diagram:

Theory: Wien Bridge oscillator is sine wave AF oscillator. Fig. Shown on the front panel of the kit circuit diagram of the Wien - bridge oscillator. The circuit consist of two stage RC coupled amplifier, which provide an approximately 360 or 0 phase - shift between I/P & O/P signal. so the feed back network has no need to induce any additional phase shift. The feedback network consists of R1 - C1, R4 C2 called as lead - lag network and R3 - R2 called a voltage divider. The lead - lag network provides a positive feedback to the input of the first stage & the voltage divider provides the negative feedback to the emitter of Q1 transistor which controls the gain of transistor Amplifier Q1.
27

The operation of Wien Bridge Oscillator is as follows: When the circuit is energized by switching on the supply a small random oscillations appearing at the base of Q1 transistor are amplified, at its collector. These oscillations are further amplified by the collector of Q2 transistor. Since the oscillations at the collector of Q2 transistor has been inverted twice, therefore these oscillations are in phase with the input signal. The part of the output signal is feedback to the base of Q1 through a Wien bridge network. This is further amplified. The process continues, till sustained oscillations are produced finally it produces sine wave O/P, having frequency in Audio Range so it is also called as AF Oscillator. The frequency of oscillations for the wien - bridge oscillator is given by the relation.

EXPERIMENT NO.8 RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR Aim: To study the RC phase shift oscillator. Apparatus required: 1. CRO 2. Training module of RC phase shift oscillator. 3. Patch cords. Circuit diagram:

Theory: The basic phase shift oscillator, as the name implies, is a conventional amplifier ad a phase shifting RC feedback network. It is typically used in fixed frequency applications. As in the conventional LC oscillator, the collector output signal must be shifted 180 to produce the required regenerative feedback. The phase shift oscillator accomplishes this with a series of RC networks connected in the collector-to-base feedback loop. In a purely capacitive circuit, current leads voltage by 90. In a RC network the phase difference between current and voltage falls between 0 and 90, because resistance affect the phase relationship. By carefully selecting the resistance and capacitive values, the amount f phase shift across an RC network can be controlled. It is easy to cascade identical networks. To obtain the 180 phase shifts requires filters that are even multiple of 180. N this case 90,60, 45, and 30 are all multiple of 180.resistance does not vary with frequency, however the capacitor is frequency sensitive, since its reactance changes with frequency. As XC
31

changes, the phase shift of the RC network also varies. When three 60 phase shift network are cascaded the combined phase shift is 180. Each network contributes 60 to the total phase shift of 180. The phase shift network comprised of R1C1, R2C2, and R3C3 is connected between the collector and base of Q1, provides the 180 phase shift that make the circuit regenerative. To compensate the losses use the high gain of transistor (30 and 50). The approximate frequency of oscillation can be determined using the formula
Fo 1 / 2 6 RC

Stability can be improved by increasing the no of RC networks, there by reducing the phase shift across each network. Procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Switch on the trainer and check the power supply to be +15V. Connect A cannel CRO terminal to the output of oscillator. Adjust 470K potentiometer (P1) to get 1 KHz sin wave. Connect B cannel CRO terminal to the feedback path marked A. Observe the phase difference between output and input. At point A the phase difference should be 60. At point B the phase difference is 120. At point C the phase difference is 180.

Observation: Trace the all wave forms from the CRO a compare the all waveform with each others and observe the phase shift between output and input.

Training module of push pull amplifier type: EE-24 analog with its instruction manual and patch chords. 2. Audio signal generator. 3. Output power meter. 4. Distortion-factor meter. 5. CRO 6. 8 speaker. Circuit diagram:

Theory: The push pull connection is the most widely used in power amplifier. It has less distortion and much efficiency. The resistor R1, R2 & RE fix up the operating point; as in any other transistor amplifier. The out

36

put transformer has center-tapped primary and it serves to match the load with the output impedance of transistors. The input transformer has a center-tap secondary. It provide input signal to the two transistors. These signals are equal in magnitude but opposite in phase. On applying the input signal, the collector current of one transistor is pulled down. Hence the name push pull amplifier. The out put voltage is proportional to net current (IC1-IC2) flowing through the primary of the output transformer. We may connect load resistor to measure the out put power. Procedure: 1. Find the transistor type numbers from the experimental board & also find the transistor are n-p-n or p-n-p. 2. Trace the circuit of the amplifier a write down the values of the components used. 3. Switch ON the instrument. Measure voltage VCE for both the transistor. For a matched pair of transistor, the voltage VCE for both should be the same. Measure voltage drops across RE gives the sum of the two emitter-currents. Half of this current will be approximately the collector current of each transistor. 4. Feed the AC signal at the input. Keep the frequency at 1 KHz (midband frequency). Connect the loudspeaker as a load resistor at the out put. If you hear a sound, the circuit is working. 5. Replace the loudspeaker with power meter. Select a typical value of the load impedance (say, 8) in the power meter. Also connect the output to a CRO. See the wave shape of the output voltage on the CRO. Increase the input signal voltage tilt h output wave shape starts getting distorted. Note this input signal voltage. Now reduce the input signal to a value slightly below this voltage. 6. Change the impedance (in the power meter) in steps. For each value of impedance, not down the output power. Plot the graph between output power and load impedance. From this graph, find the impedance for which the output power is maximum. This is the value of the optimum load. Select load impedance (in the power meter) which is equal to or near the optimum load. See the output on the CRO. Increases the input 7. Signal till the wave shape just show distortion. Note the value of this input voltage. This gives the maximum signal handing capacity of the amplifier.

EXPERIMENT NO.10 DARLINGTON PAIR AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT Aim: Experiment with Darlington pair amplifier. Apparatus required: 1. Training module of Darlington pair amplifier. 2. Voltmeter. 3. DC supply Circuit diagram:

Theory: DARLINGTON CIRCUIT: In the diagram shown with common-base configuration, for transistor T1, we have IC1 = 1iE1 and iB1 = iE1- iC1 = iE1(1-1) For the transistor T2, iC2 = 2iB1= 2iE1(1-1) And If Then iCT = iC1 + iC2 = iE1(1+2-12) 1 = 2 = 0.98 eff = iCT / iE1 = (1+2-12)= 0.9996
40

A value almost equal to 1. Also hfe = = /(1-) = 0.9996/(1-0.9996) = 2499 If two common emitter stages are cascaded, the current amplification factor would be hfe2 = 2401. So a Darlington pair circuits gives a high current gain and also helps to eliminate a number of circuit component. fig

In fig the input impedance T2 is given by Rin = hie + (1+hfe) RL Where RL is the load in the emitter circuit. The impedance of transistor T2 will be Zi2 = hie2 + (1+hfe2)Zi1 Where Zi1 is the load in the emitter circuit of T2. In this way the input impedance is increased. Difference amplifier: Another effective method of improving performance is by the use of difference amplifier shown in fig. the

If the transistors and circuit components are completely matched, there will be complete cancellation of effects of supply voltages, etc. The

42

configuration will be very effective especially if the emitter circuit resistance is equal to, or larger than, the value of load resistance. However, the circuit gain for the common mode signal is much smaller than for the conventional circuit. Procedure: 1. The base terminal of TR1 and TR2 are grounded. The DC collector voltages VO1 and VO2 with respect to ground are measured so as t find the difference VO1-VO2. The operating points for the two devices are noted as well as current through RE. 2. VS1 adjusted to be VS2 = 10mV at a single source frequency of 1 KHz; then VO1 and VO2 are measured and noted so as to calculate Ad. 3. VS1 is adjusted to be VS2 = 20m V at a single source frequency of 1 KHz ; the VO1 AND VO2 measured and noted so as t calculate AC. The value of CMRR can be computed from the measured values of Ad and AC.

EXPERIMENT NO.11 COLPITTS OSCILLATOR Aim: To determine the feedback factor and frequency of oscillation of Colpitts Oscillator. Apparatus Required: Madras-83 Kit,connecting wires,multimeter ,CRO etc. Circuit Diagram:

Theory: The colpitt is essentially shunt-fed,so DC collector current does not pass through the choke.Since the colpitts is more stable,it is used in manysignal generator. Bias networks, eliminated for simplicity, are similar to other transistor oscillator.The tapped capacitor arrangement identifies the Colpitts oscillator.As with all LC oscillator ,frequency is determined by inductor L1 and the series combination of capacitors C1 &C2.Capacitor C3 couples AC collector voltage to the tank,while blocking DC. Sincethe oscillator is a common-emitter configuration,collector voltage is 1800 The arrangement of capacitor C1 &C2 in a voltage-divider network produces the desired 1800 phase shift across capacitor C1, resulting in regenerative or positive feedback. FIG-1

Figure 2 shows the tank circuit with negative potential at the bottom plate of C2.This negative potential is felt across the entire tank, charging the top plate of C1 to a positive potential through inductor L1.The result is that the

46

feedback voltage across C1 is phased shifted 1800, producing regenerative feedback. Q1 is further forward biased and quickly saturates. With Q1 saturated, there is no voltage drop across RFC, because current is no longer changing as shown in below fig1.The flywheel effect of the tank then takes over (fig-3) as C1 &C2 act as one capacitor discharging through L1 & building up the magnetic field.

Again a field is built up around L1 that subsequently collapses and charges C1 in the opposite direction(fig-4)

Fig.4. Transistor Q1 is now forward biased and conducts.Thus, energy lost in the tank is replaced .a similar action occurs each cycle as positive feedback replenishes energy expanded.The series combination of C1 & C2 determines oscillator frequency. C1,the feedback capacitor, controls the amount of feedback. This is result of the series voltage-divider arrangement of C1 & C2.If the capacitances of C1 decreased the amount of feedback is increased. This can be illustrated by reviewing the formula for capacitive reactance(Xc). Xc=1/2FC A decrease in capacitances C, result in opposition(Xc).Therefore, a larger feedback voltage is developed across this increased opposition.The feedback factor is determined by the ratio of the capacitors.
48

Feedback Factor (B)=C2/C1 The feedback factor for the Colpitts is typically 0.1 to 0.5, or 10 to 50%. Too much feedback distorts the output waveform, as a transistor Q1 is saturated for long periods of time.A feedback factor of less than 10% may not be sufficient to sustain the oscillation. Procedure: 1] Patch the circuit as shown in wiring diagram. 2] Switch on the trainer and measure the power supply to be +15. 3] Observe the output at the collector of transistor onCRO. 4].Vary the 1M Potentiometer and 10K Potentiometer to get a sine wave. 5]. Measure the frequency of the output with C1=0.1F and C2=0.01F. 6]. Disconnect C1 & C2 & select C1=0.01F 7 C2=0.001F and measure the output frequency. Precaution: 1. Connect the circuit properly. 2.

EXPERIMENT NO.12 CLAPP OSCILLATOR Aim: To construct clap oscillator and determine oscillator stability. Apparatus Required : Connecting wires, millimeters, CRO etc Circuit Diagram:

Theory: The colpitts is essentially shut-fed, so DC collector current doesnt pass through the choke. Since the colpitts is more stable, it is used in many signal generators. (Fig 1)

Bias network eliminated for simplicity, are similar to other transistor oscillators. The tapped capacitor arrangement identifies the colpitts oscillator. As with all LC oscillators frequency is determined by inductor L1 and the series combination of capacitors C1 and C2. Capacitor C3 couples AC collector voltage to the tank, while blocking DC. Since the oscillator is a common emitter configuration, collector voltage is out of phase with base voltage. The arrangement of capacitors C1 and C2 in a voltage divider network produces the desired 1800 phase shift across capacitor C1, resulting in regenerative or positive feedback. The feedback factor, usually 0.1 to 0.5 is determined by the ratio of C1to C2. Feedback increases if the value of C1 is lowered. Although the combination of C1 and C2 determines oscillator frequency, C2 has most pronounced effect on frequency. The colpitts is shock-excited into oscillation much like the other oscillator. Initial forward bias is furnished by the bias network and Q1

begins to conduct. The DC collector current path is from emitter to collector, through the RFC, returning to the power supply. This initial surge of current causes a negative voltage drop across the RFC, since the change is rapid. Capacitor C3 couples this negative voltage to the lower plate of capacitor C2. For simplicity, the following discussion will cover only the AC current path in the tank circuit. Fig 2 shows the tank circuit with negative potential at the bottom plate of C2. This negative potential is felt across the entire tank, charging the top plate of Q1 to a positive potential through indicator L1. The end result is that the feedback voltage across C1 is phase shifted 180o producing regenerative feedback. Q1 is farther forward biased and quickly saturates. With Q1 saturated, there is no voltage drop across RFC, because current is no longer changing as shown in below fig1.The flywheel effect of the tank then takes over (fig-3) as C1 &C2 act as one capacitor discharging through L1 & building up the magnetic field.

Circuit Description: The clapp oscillator shown in fig 5 is a variation of the colpitts oscillators. The only difference is the addition of variable capacitor C3. Capacitor C3 forms a series-resonant circuit with inductor L1 and allows capacitor tuning without effecting the feedback ratio. C3 is small, in relation to C1 & C2 due to the relationship of capacitors in series and parallel circuit configuration,C3 effectively determines the oscillators frequency.
