AMPLIFIER DESIGN USING BJT

DECIDING THE Q POINT:

BIASING CALCULATIONS:
BIASING CONDITION
VCE=7 Volt
IC=13.34 mA
IB=70 uA

CALCULATION FOR BIASING CIRCUIT

beta=IC/IB=13.34/.07=191
IE= ((1+beta)*IC) / (beta) = (151*13.34)/150=13.41 mA
Current in voltage divider, I1=.1IE=.1*13.41=1.341 mA
VCC/ (RB1+RB2) = 1.341 mA

Again VB=3 V (By ensuring that transistor is not going to cut-off region while
operation. As the input signal is only 2 mV peak to peak so 3 V will serve the
purpose)
VB=3 V
(RB2*VCC) / (RB1+RB2) = 3 V
RB2*1.341=3=2.24 KOhm
RB1= (VCC/1.341)-RB2=15/1.341-2.24=8.95 KOhm

CALCULARION FOR EMITTER AND COLLECTOR RESISTOR

VB=3 V
VE=VB-.7=1-.7=2.3 V(VBE=.7 Volt)
RE=VE/IE=2.3/13.41=172 Ohm
RE1=20 Ohm
RE2=152 Ohm
VC=VCC-IC*RC=VCE+IE*RE
RC= (15-(7+13.41*.172)) / IC=427 Ohm

CALCULATION OF GAIN
Gm=IC/VT=13.34/26=.513 mho
Beta=IC/IB=13.34/.070=191
Rpi=beta/gm=372 Ohm
Rin=RB1||RB2||(Rpi+(1+Beta)RE)= 8.95k||2.24k ||33.4k=.69K||4.34K=1.7KOhm

GAIN=-(Beta*(RC||RL)) / (Rpi+(1+Beta)*RE1)= -(191*315) / (372+192*20)=14.28

2. What is the reason for the small discrepancy in the hand calculated and
simulated values? Which one is more accurate hand calculated or simulated?
The small discrepancy is due to the approximation taken while biasing. The
standard value of components used instead of using the calculated values.
FROM CALCULATION:

FROM SIMULATION:

The simulation result is more accurate

3. Find the system gain from the waveform plot.

System gain=-27.6mV/2mV=-13.8

4. Plot the frequency response for the amplifier.

BANDWIDTH=50 MHz
