OBJECTIVES

On completion of this topic you would be able to :

• Understand the principle of operation of transformer


coupled amplifier.

• Draw the circuit diagram transformer coupled amplifier.

• Describe the working of transformer coupled amplifier.

EC302.54 TO 55 2
Recap

• Where do we use RC coupled amplifier ?

• Draw the frequency response curve of RC coupled


amplifier?

• Mention the reasons for frequency response at mid ,


high frequencies?

EC302.54 TO 55 3
Principle of transformer coupling

• In this type of coupling , a transformer is used to transfer

the ac output voltage of the first stage to the input of the

next stage.

• The collector resistor Rc is replaced by the primary

winding of the transformer.

EC302.54 TO 55 4
Principle of transformer coupling amplifier

• The secondary winding of the transformer replaces wire

between the voltage divider ( of the biasing network)

and the base of the second stage.

• The dc isolation between the two stages is provided by

the transformer itself.

EC302.54 TO 55 5
Principle of transformer coupling amplifier

• There exists no dc path between the primary and

secondary windings of a transformer.

• The ac voltage across the primary winding is transferred

to the secondary with a multiplication by turns ratio.

Working of transformer coupled amplifier

• When an ac signal is applied to the base of the first


transistor ,it appears in amplified form, across primary of
the coupling transformer.

• The voltage developed across primary is transferred to

the input of next stage by transformer secondary.

EC302.54 TO 55 8
Working of transformer coupled
amplifier

• The second stage performs same operation as


first stage.

• The amplified output signal from the second


stage is coupled to the load by output
transformer.

EC302.54 TO 55 9
Applications

• These are widely used in radio frequency amplifiers.

• These are used in tuned voltage amplifiers.

• The transformer coupled amplifiers are used in radio and

TV receivers.

EC302.54 TO 55 10
Limitations

• The transformer coupling scheme is not used for

amplifying low frequency audio signals.

• Variation of voltage gain due to leakage inductance and

inter winding capacitances.

EC302.54 TO 55 11
Advantages

• No signal power is lost in the collector or base resistor.

• An excellent impedance matching is achieved.

• Due to impedance matching it provides higher gain.

EC302.54 TO 55 12
Disadvantages

• It has a poor frequency response.

• It is expensive due to bulky coupling transformers.

• Frequency distortions is higher.

• It tends to introduce hum in the output.
