The Common Emitter Amplifier
Circuit
1.)Construct the common emitter amplifier circuit below according to your type of emitter.
2.)Calculate all the R and C values to use in the circuit such that
- a. Try
- b. mA DC with no input signal
- c. V
- d. to prevent burnout
- e.
- f. mA
3.)Draw a load line using the -vs- from the previous lab 13. Record the value of or .
4.)Set a DC operating point so it will amplify the input pulse given to you. Some of you will have sinusoidal pulses others will have positive or negative only pulses.
5.)Measure all DC voltages in the circuit and compare with the predicted values.(10 pnts)
6.)Measure the voltage gain as a function of frequency and compare to the theoretical value.(10 pnts)
7.)Measure and at about 1 kHz and compare to the theoretical value.(10 pnts)
How do you do this? Add resistor in front of which you vary to determine and then do a similar thing for except the variable reistor goes from to ground.
8.)Measure and as a function of frequency with removed.(10 pnts)
