EEE 208 Open Ended Lab

This document provides instructions for an open-ended lab to simulate and evaluate the frequency response characteristics of single-stage and multi-stage BJT amplifier circuits. Students are asked to construct a common emitter amplifier circuit and observe how changing resistor and capacitor values affects the frequency response. They are then instructed to cascade a common collector amplifier before the common emitter amplifier, and observe the effects of varying load and source resistances on the two-stage amplifier's frequency response. Finally, students are asked to add another common collector amplifier to create a three-stage circuit and repeat their observations, before writing a discussion of how different parameters and additional stages affect frequency response and overall gain.

Open Ended Lab: Frequency Response of Transistor Amplifier Circuits


The objective of this study is to simulate, observe and evaluate the characteristics and performance
of the single stage and multi- stage BJT amplifier circuits. Read the instructions carefully:
Consider the following Common Emitter (CE) circuit with parameters: Rs= 1kohm, R1=20kohm,
R2=10kohm, Rc=3.3kohm. RL=10kohm, CB = CL = 10uF, CE=47uF and supply voltage, Vcc=15V.

Construct the circuit. Plot the voltage gain vs frequency with RE=2.2Kohms. If you change the
value of RE, will it affect the frequency response? If you keep RE constant and vary CE from 10uF
to 100uF, how will it affect the frequency response? Besides, do you think variation in load
resistance and source resistances can affect the frequency response? (Determine the bandwidth,
cut-off frequencies and unity gain frequency from your analysis)
Now, Cascade a Common Collector Amplifier (CC1) followed by the previously mentioned CE
Amplifier. Plot the voltage gain vs frequency of this two- stage amplifier. Study the effect of
variation in load resistance on the frequency response of this circuit. Do you think it improves the
circuit performance? Also, study the effect of variation in source resistance on frequency response
of the circuit. (Determine the bandwidth, cut-off frequencies)
Now, cascade the previously mentioned two-stage amplifier followed by a Common- Collector
(CC2) Amplifier. Plot the voltage gain vs frequency of this three- stage amplifier. Study the effect
of variation in load resistance on the frequency response of this circuit. Do you think it improves
the circuit performance? Also, study the effect of variation in source resistance on frequency
response of the circuit. (Determine the bandwidth, cut-off frequencies)
Write a discussion on how frequency, load and source resistances limit circuit performance and
how different circuit parameters and addition of CC stages minimize those effects and improves
the overall gain and the frequency response. Conclude the discussion mentioning what can be
inferred from the study, specifically about amplifier’s performance, what limits the performance
and how to overcome those limitations
