I. The document describes an experiment to study the common base amplifier configuration through simulation and practical implementation. II. Key aspects of the common base amplifier are discussed, including its features of being a current buffer and having voltage gain but current attenuation. III. The procedure involves connecting the circuit components as specified, giving a sinusoidal input, and observing and recording the input and output waveforms on an oscilloscope. Simulations are also performed by three students.

ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT

A common base amplifier (aka grounded base) is one of the 3 basic single stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT)
amplifier topologies, mostly used as a current buffer or voltage buffer.
Here, the emitter terminal serves as the input and output is represented by the collector terminal and the base
terminal is common to both ( it might be connected to the ground reference or a power supply rail). The analogous
field effect transistor circuit is the common gate amplifier.
Following figure shows basic configuration of a common base amplifier:
The best feature of this configuration is that the input signal source must carry the full emitter current of the
transistor. As we know, the emitter current is greater than any other current in the transistor, being the sum of base
and collector currents. In the last two amplifier configurations, the signal source was connected to the base lead of
the transistor, thus handling the least current possible. Because the input current exceeds all other currents in the
circuit, including the output current, the current gain of this amplifier is actually less than 1. In short, it attenuates
current rather than amplifying it.
In the common-base circuit, we follow another basic transistor parameter: the ratio between collector current and
emitter current, which is a fraction always less than 1. This fractional value for any transistor is called the alpha ratio,
or α ratio. It obviously can't boost signal current, it only seems reasonable to expect it to boost signal voltage.The
input and output waveforms are in phase with each other. This shows that the common-base amplifier is non-
inverting.
PROCEURE
 Connect the circuit as given in the manual.
 Give an input of 40mVp-p (f = 10 kHz) to the amplifier.
 Observe the output at Oscilloscope.
 Draw the input and output waveforms.
