Section 6– 6 Multistage Amplifiers

29. Each of two cascaded amplifier stages has an Av = 20. What is the overall gain?

30. Each of three cascaded amplifier stages has a dB voltage gain of 10 dB. What is the overall
voltage gain in dB? What is the actual overall voltage gain?

31. For the two- stage, capacitively coupled amplifier in Figure 6– 57, find the following values:
( a) voltage gain of each stage
( b) overall voltage gain
( c) Express the gains found in ( a) and ( b) in dB.

Figure 6– 57
32. If the multistage amplifier in Figure 6– 57 is driven by a 75 Ω, 50 uV source and the second
stage is loaded with an RL = 18 kΩ, determine
( a) voltage gain of each stage
( b) overall voltage gain
( c) Express the gains found in ( a) and ( b) in dB.

Section 6– 7 The Differential Amplifier

36. The dc base voltages in Figure 6– 59 are zero. Using your knowledge of transistor analysis,
determine the dc differential output voltage. Assume that Q1 has an α = 0.980 and Q2 has an α =
0.975.

39. Identify the type of input and output configuration for each basic differential amplifier in
Figure 6– 61.
