MULTISTAGE
AMPLIFIERS
INTRODUCTION
If the voltage or power gain obtained from a
single stage small signal amplifier is not
sufficient for a practical application , we go
for more than one stage of amplification to
achieve required voltage and power gain.
Such an amplifier is called a multistage
amplifier
INTRODUCTION
In multistage amplifiers, the output
of one stage is fed as the input to the
next as shown in figure below
INTRODUCTION
A multistage amplifier using two or
more single stage common emitter
amplifier is called as cascaded
amplifiers
A multistage amplifier with CE as the
first stage and CB as the second stage
is called as cascode amplifier.
Such cascade and cascode connections
are also possible in FET amplifiers
Capacitive Coupling
Direct Coupling
Transformer Coupling
Frequency response
The voltage gain and phase shift of
the gain depend on the frequency
range over which the amplifier
operate
In general the entire frequency range
can be divided into three ranges
Mid frequency range
Low frequency range
High frequency range
and phase is
.
