Experiment No: RC COUPLED AMPLIFIER

AIM: To design and setup an RC coupled amplifier using BJT and to plot its frequency response. COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMANTS REQUIRED: Transistor (BC107) Capacitors !read !oard resistors signal generators and CR".

THEORY: RC coupled amplifier is #idely used in audio frequency applications in radio and T$ recei%ers. &t pro%ides current %oltage and po#er gains. Base current controls t'e collector current of a C( amplifier. ) small increase in t'e !ase current results in a relati%ely large increase in collector current. *imilarly a small decrease in t'e !ase current results in large decrease in collector current. T'e emitter+!ase ,unction must !e for#ard !iased and collector !ase ,unction must !e re%erse !iased for t'e proper functioning of an amplifier. T'e resistors R 1 - R. are employed for t'e %oltage di%ider !ias of t'e transistor. $oltage di%ider !ias pro%ides independence from t'e %ariations in /. T'e input signal $in is coupled t'roug' C1 to t'e !ase and output %oltage is coupled from collector t'roug' t'e capacitor C..
