Post-Lab Discussion
You should have found that the gain of the common base amplifier is high and
the input impedance is very low. What effect do you think the low in-put
impedance would have on most input signals to the amplifier?
The low input impedance of a common base amplifier means it draws a lot of
current from the signal source. This can lead to signal loss, loading effects, and
distortion, making proper impedance matching crucial for optimal performance
in a circuit.
2: Even though the common base amplifier has a high gain, why do you
think it is not very popular for use as an audio amplifier?
Ans :The common base amplifier, despite its high gain, isn't popular for
audio because its low input impedance can distort signals. Other amplifier
types, like the common emitter, are more commonly used for better
performance in audio applications.
3:Considering that the impedance of most coaxial cables used to carry RF signals is
in the range of 50 to 75 OHM, do you feel that there would be an application in RF
use for the common base amplifier? Give an example to explain your answer.
Ans: Yes, the common base amplifier could be useful in RF applications, especially
when connecting to coaxial cables with 50 to 75 ohms impedance. Its low input
impedance helps match with the cable, reducing signal reflection and optimizing
power transfer in RF systems.
