Theory:
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with
respective frequency. The gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases
fromzerotillitbecomesmaximumatlowercutofffrequencyandremainsconstant
tillhighercutofffrequencyandthenitfallsagainasthefrequencyincreases.
At low frequencies the reactance of coupling capacitor CC is quite high and
henceverysmallpartofsignalwillpassthroughfromonestagetothenextstage.
At high frequencies the reactance of inter electrode capacitance is very small
and behaves as a short circuit. This increases the loading effect on next stage and
servicetoreducethevoltagegainduetothesereasonsthevoltagegaindropsathigh
frequencies.Atmidfrequenciestheeffectofcouplingcapacitorsisnegligibleandacts
like short circuit, where as inter electrode capacitors acts like open circuit. So, the
circuit becomes resistive at mid frequencies and the voltage gain remains constant
during this range. The gain is more stable in common emitter amplifier without
bypasscapacitorcomparetowithbypasscapacitor.

Theory:
The FET is a type of transistor commonly used for weak signal
amplification.Thedevicecanamplify analogordigital signals. Itcanalsoswitch
DC or function as an oscillator. In theFET current flows along a semiconductor
path called the channel. At one end of the channel, there is an electrode called
source.Attheotherendofthechannelthereisanelectrodecalledthedrain.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain
with respective frequency. The gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency
increases from zero till it becomes maximum at lower cutoff frequency and
remains constant till higher cutoff frequency and then it falls again as the
frequencyincreases.
AtlowfrequenciesthereactanceofcouplingcapacitorisCcisquitehigh
and hence very small part of the signal will pass through from one stage to next
stage.
At high frequencies the reactance of inter electrode capacitance very
smallandbehavesasashortcircuit.Thisincreasestheloadingeffectonnextstage
andservicetoreducethevoltagegainduetothesereasonsthevoltagegainfallsat
highfrequencies.
At mid frequencies the effect of coupling capacitors is negligible and
actslikeashortcircuit,whereasinterelectrodecapacitorsactslikeopencircuit.
So, the circuit becomes resistive at mid frequencies and the voltage gain remains
sameduringthisrange.

Feedback can divide in two categories depending upon the phase of the returned

In multistage system this output becomes the input of the next stage of the
system. The emitter resistor amplifier is similar to the CE amplifier but has lower
voltage gain and higher input impedance .Because of the feedback present in this
amplifier,internalnoisegeneratedbythetransistorisalmosteliminated.
The CB amplifier has low input impedance and relatively high output
impedance.Thesepropertiesarelessdesirableforsignalamplification.Ifthebaseis
bypassed to ground with a capacitor, the amplifier has high voltage gain but the
current gain is less than unity .Thus if the source driving the amplifier has a low
impedace, and the load is drawing little current, the CB can be used as a voltage
amplifier.Ifthedrivingsourcehasahigherimpedance,wecanoffsetthisundesirable

which leads to decrease in efficiency. To achieve maximum efficiency we can use
transformer to couple the load. Since transformer is used for impudence matching

ACcouplingnoDCpoweriswastedintheloadresistor.TheloadDCresistanceof
transformer primary allows any desired level of collector current, while transferring
