    This document summarizes a lab report on common-emitter BJT amplifiers. It includes measurements of DC bias values, voltage gain, input and output resistances with and without an emitter degeneration resistor. Key findings are: 1) A BJT has low gain if not biased in the forward active region due to the nonlinear I-V curve shape. 2) Clipping occurs at the top and bottom of the output signal due to the limited voltage swing of the BJT. 3) Emitter degeneration reduces voltage gain but increases input and output resistances, making the amplifier more stable and linear.

    VIN = VOU T =

    Av =

    2. Is the gain more or less than the gain found without the degenerating resistor? Explain this change in gain.

    3. Measured amplier parameters:


    RIN = ROU T =

    Part 3.4

    1. Compare the loudness of the speaker for the two following cases: 10mV , 1kHz amplitude sine wave applied directly to speaker, and speaker placed at the output of the CE amplier biased with a 1k resistor. Which is the louder and why?
