Theory:
The process whereby the form of a non sinusoidal signal is altered by transmission
through a linear network is called linear wave shaping. An ideal low pass circuit is one
that allows all the input frequencies below a frequency called cutoff frequency fc and
attenuates all those above this frequency. For practical low pass circuit cutoff is set to
occur at a frequency where the gain of the circuit falls by 3 dB from its maximum at very
high frequencies the capacitive reactance is very small, so the output is almost equal to
the input and hence the gain is equal to 1. Since circuit attenuates low frequency
signals and allows high frequency signals with little or no attenuation, it is called a high
pass circuit.

Theory:
The basic action of a clipper circuit is to remove certain portions of the waveform,
above or below certain levels as per the requirements. Thus the circuits which are used to
clip off unwanted portion of the waveform, without distorting the remaining part of the
waveform are called clipper circuits or Clippers. The half wave rectifier is the best and
simplest type of clipper circuit which clips off the positive/negative portion of the input
signal. The clipper circuits are also called limiters or slicers.

Theory:
In the transistor the output characteristics having three different regions.
They are:
1. Cut-off region
2. Saturation region
3. Active region.
When the transistor is operating in Cut-off region, it remains cut-off i.e. no
current flows in the load circuit. The transistor thus behaves like an open switch. It can
be shown that both emitter-base junction and collector-base junction are reverse
biased and no conduction occurs.
When the transistor is operating in Saturation region, it conducts heavily,
just like a closed switch. Both emitter-base junction and collector-base junction remain
Forward-biased and the device almost behaves like a Short-circuit.
The region between cut-off region and Saturation region is termed as Active region.
When the transistor is operating in this region, the emitter-base junction remains
forward-biased and the collector-base junction remains Reverse-biased.

7. Sampling Gates
Aim: To Study the operation of sampling gates using method of four diode gate
Components Required:
1) Sampling gate trainer.
2) Function generator.
3) CRO and CRO probe.
4) Digital multimeter.
Theory:
A Sampling Gate is basically a transmission circuit which allows an input signal
to pass through it during a selected interval; and blocks its passage outside the time
interval. The input signal does not suffer any distortion or attenuation during transmission,
with the result that the output waveform is an exact replica of the input signal waveform.
Hence the output of a sampling gate is an exact reproduction of the input signal during
the selected interval, and is zero otherwise.
The interval of the time is selected by means of an external signal termed as
Gating Signal. The gating signal is generally a rectangular pulse of the required polarity.

needed. The astable multivibrator cannot remain indefinitely in any one of the two
states .The two amplifier stages of an astable multivibrator are regenerative across

Theory:
Schmitt trigger:
Schmitt trigger is a Bistable circuit and the existence of only two stable states
results form the fact that positive feedback is incorporated into the circuit and from
the further fact that the loop gain of the circuit is greater than unity. There are
several ways to adjust the loop gain. One way of adjusting the loop gain is by
varying Rc1. Under quiescent conditions Q1 is OFF and Q2 is ON because it gets
the required base drive from Vcc through Rc1 and R1. So the output voltage is
Vo=Vcc-Ic2Rc2 is at its lower level. Until then the output remains at its lower level.

Capacitor C=0.1 F.
5)
UJT=2N2646
Theory:
The UJT has two dropped regions with three external loads. It has one emitter
and two Bases. The emitter is heavily doped having many holes. The n-region is lightly
doped. For this reason, the resistance between the bases is relatively high. Typically
between 5 K to 10 K when the emitter is open. This is called Interbase resistance Rbb.
When the supply voltage Vbb is initially applied to the circuit, UJT is off because
Capacitor will begin from 0v and no emitter current consequently. Capacitor will be
charged towards Vbb through resistor R.
