Experiment No 4: Bias With and Without Feedback and Determine The Gain Bandwidth Product From Its Frequency Response

This document describes an experiment to design and test a common emitter BJT amplifier circuit with and without feedback. Key components include resistors, capacitors, a power supply, function generator, and oscilloscope. The circuit will be tested by varying the input frequency and measuring the output voltage to determine gain. Gain-frequency curves will be plotted on semi-log graph paper to compare the frequency response with and without feedback and determine the gain bandwidth product.

EXPERIMENT NO 4

AIM: - Design and set up the BJT common emitter amplifier using voltage divider
bias with and without feedback and determine the gain bandwidth product from its
frequency response.
Component Required: -
 Resistance (47KΩ,22KΩ,10KΩ,2.2KΩ,47Ω)
 Capacitor (4.7µf,40nf,47nf)
 Power Supply
 Function Generator
 Oscilloscope
THOERY:-
Bipolar transistor amplifiers must be properly biased to operate correctly. In circuits made
with individual devices (discrete circuits), biasing networks consisting of resistors are
commonly employed. Much more elaborate biasing arrangements are used in integrated
circuits, for example, bandgap voltage references and current mirrors. The voltage divider
configuration achieves the correct voltages by the use of resistors in certain patterns. By
selecting the proper resistor values, stable current levels can be achieved that vary only little
over temperature and with transistor properties such as β. If amplifier’s output signal is
connected to the input, so that the amplifier amplifies part of its own output signal, we have
what is known as feedback. Feedback comes in two varieties: positive (also
called regenerative), and negative (also called degenerative)
If Positive Feedback is introduce into an amplifier circuit, it has the tendency of creating and
sustaining oscillations, the frequency of which determined by the values of components
handling the feedback signal from output to input. This is one way to make an oscillator
circuit to produce AC from a DC power supply.
Negative feedback, on the other hand, has a “dampening” effect on an amplifier: if the output
signal happens to increase in magnitude, the feedback signal introduces a decreasing influence
into the input of the amplifier, thus opposing the change in output signal. While positive
feedback drives an amplifier circuit toward a point of instability (oscillations), negative
feedback drives it the opposite direction: toward a point of stability.
An amplifier circuit equipped with some amount of negative feedback is not only more stable,
but it distorts the input waveform less and is generally capable of amplifying a wider range of
frequencies. The tradeoff for these advantages (there just has to be a disadvantage to negative
feedback, right?) is decreased gain. If a portion of an amplifier’s output signal is “fed back” to
the input to oppose any changes in the output, it will require a greater input signal amplitude
to drive the amplifier’s output to the same amplitude as before. This constitutes a decreased
gain. However, the advantages of stability, lower distortion, and greater bandwidth are worth
the tradeoff in reduced gain for many applications.
