Year and Name

Winter- 22 Unit 1 1a) Define Amplifier. Define the term voltage gain. 2

Amplifier: An amplifier is an electronic circuit which produces a large electrical output of similar
characteristics that of the input signal parameters

Voltage gain: Voltage gain of the power amplifier is defined as the ratio of output voltage to the
input voltage.

Av= (Vo/Vi)

Winter- 22 Unit 1 1g) State advantages and disadvantages of transformer coupled amplifier. 2

Advantages:

1. No signal power is lost in the collector or base resistors.

2. An excellent impedance matching and can be achieved in a transformer coupled amplifier.
3. Due to excellent impedance matching, transformer coupling provides higher gain.
4. D.C isolation between first and second stages.

Disadvantages:

1. It has a poor frequency response.

2. The coupling transformers are bulky and fairly expensive at audio frequencies.
3. Frequency distribution is higher i.e. low frequency signals are less amplified as compared to the high
frequency signals.
 Examination Paper Analysis and Solution
4. Transformer coupling tends to introduce hum in the output.
5. Cost is more.

Winter- 22 Unit 1 2a) Explain the working principle of single stage CE amplifier with help of waveform 4

Circuit Diagram: -

Working Principle: - When a weak input ac signal is applied to the base of the transistor, a small base current
flows through it. Due to transistor action, a large ac current flows through RC and therefore a large voltage appears
across it and hence at the output. Therefore, a weak signal applied to the base appears in the amplified form in
the collector circuit.
During positive half cycle of the input we get Negative half cycle at the output and vice a versa due to transistor’s
action and hence we get 180-degree phase shifted output.
Voltage gain of the amplifier is the ratio of the amplified output voltage to the input voltage. (Av= Vo/Vi)

Winter- 22 Unit 1 5c) Draw common source FET amplifier. Describe its operation. Give its application. 6

Working: -

1. When small AC signal is applied to the gate, it produces variation in the gate to source voltage.
This produces variation in the drain current.
2. As the gate to source voltage increases, the drain current also increases. As the result of this
voltage drop across RD also increases. This causes the drain voltage to decreases.
 Examination Paper Analysis and Solution

3. As the input voltage rises, gate to source voltage becomes less negative, it will increase the
channel width and increase the level of drain current ID.
4. As the input voltage falls, it will decrease the channel width and decrease the level of drain
current ID.
5. Thus ID varies sinusoidally above its Q point value.
6. The drain to source voltage VDS is given by (VDS = VDD – IDRD)
7. Therefore, as ID increases the voltage drop IDRD will also increase and voltage VDS will decrease.
8. If ΔID is large for a small value of ΔVGS; the ΔVDS will also be large and we get amplification.
Thus the AC output voltage VDS is 180º out of phase with AC input voltage.

Applications: -
1. Used in sensor signal amplification.
2. RF signal amplification with low noise.
3. Communication systems such as television and FM receivers.

4b) Explain working of FET as an amplifier with neat diagram. 4

Working: -

1. When small AC signal is applied to the gate, it produces variation in the gate to source voltage.
This produces variation in the drain current.
2. As the gate to source voltage increases, the drain current also increases. As the result of this
voltage drop across RD also increases. This causes the drain voltage to decreases.
3. As the input voltage rises, gate to source voltage becomes less negative, it will increase the
channel width and increase the level of drain current ID.
4. As the input voltage falls, it will decrease the channel width and decrease the level of drain
current ID.
5. Thus ID varies sinusoidally above its Q point value.
6. The drain to source voltage VDS is given by (VDS = VDD – IDRD)
7. Therefore, as ID increases the voltage drop IDRD will also increase and voltage VDS will decrease.
8. If ΔID is large for a small value of ΔVGS; the ΔVDS will also be large and we get amplification.
Thus the AC output voltage VDS is 180º out of phase with AC input voltage.

Summer - 22 Unit 1 5c) Draw circuit diagram of RC coupled transistor two stage amplifier and explain its working with its frequency
response.
Circuit Diagram –

Frequency Response -
 Examination Paper Analysis and Solution
Working –

1. Frequency response curve is a graph that indicates the relationship between voltage gain and
frequency.
2. At low frequencies, the coupling capacitor Cc offers high reactance Xc. Hence it allows only a
small part of the signal to pass from one stage to the next stage. Thus gain is less at low
frequencies.
3. At high frequencies, the coupling capacitor Cc offers a low reactance and acts like a switch.
Hence, due to loading effect of the next stage increases and the gain decreases.
4. In mid-frequency range, the effect of coupling capacitor is such that it maintains a constant
voltage gain. When the frequency increases, the capacitive reactance Xc decreases which tries
to increases the gain. As the capacitive reactance decreases, the loading effect of next stage
reduces the gain. The voltage gain remains a constant as the two factors cancel each other.

Winter - 19 Unit 1 2a) Explain the working principle of FET amplifier and list its two applications 4
Circuit Diagram: -
 Examination Paper Analysis and Solution
Explanation:
1. When small a.c. signal is applied to the gate, it produces variation in the gate to source voltage.
This produces variation in the drain current. As the gate to source voltage increases, the drain
current also increases. As the result of this voltage drop across RD also increases. This causes
the drain voltage to decreases.
2. As the input voltage rises, gate to source voltage becomes less negative, it will increase the
channel width and increase the level of drain current ID.
3. As the input voltage falls, it will decrease the channel width and decrease the level of drain
current ID. Thus ID varies sinusoidally above its Q point value.
4. The drain to source voltage VDS is given by VDS = VDD – IDRD
5. Therefore, as ID increases the voltage drop IDRD will also increase and voltage VDS will decrease.
6. If ΔID is large for a small value of ΔVGS; the ΔVDS will also be large and we get amplification.
Thus the AC output voltage VDS is 180º out of phase with AC

transformers.
2. When no signal is applied at the input, the transistors T1 and T2 are in cut off condition and
hence no collector currents flow. As no current is drawn from VCC, no power is wasted.

2. Biasing conditions used for both transistors are same so they are symmetrical.
3. R1, R2, VCC are used for voltage divider bias of transistors.
4. Both transistors conduct for 180°as it is class B amplifier.

Working:

1. Input signal Vin is applied to both the transistor through input capacitor.
2. During positive half cycle of input: The base of the transistors NPN & PNP is positive. As a
result of this NPN conducts & PNP remains OFF. So we get half cycle in the output.
3. During negative half cycle of input: The base of the transistors NPN & PNP is negative. As a
result of this PNP conducts & NPN remains OFF. So we get remaining half cycle in the output.

Summer - 22 Unit 2 1c) Define: Cross over distortion 2

Explanation: -
1. Cross over distortion occurs in Class B push pull Amplifier. In the push-pull configuration, the
two identical transistors get into conduction, one after the other and the output produced will
be the combination of both.
 Examination Paper Analysis and Solution

2. When the signal changes or crosses over from one transistor to the other at the zero voltage
point, it produces an amount of distortion to the output wave shape.

3. For a transistor in order to conduct, the base emitter junction should cross 0.7v, the cut off
voltage. The time taken for a transistor to get ON from OFF or to get OFF from ON state is
called the transition period.
4. At the zero voltage point, the transition period of switching over the transistors from one to the
other, has its effect which leads to the instances where both the transistors are OFF at a time.
Such instances can be called as Flat spot or Dead band on the output wave shape.

 Examination Paper Analysis and Solution

Circuit Description:

1. The circuit consists of two centre-tapped transformers T1 and T2, two identical transistors Q1
and Q2, Resistor R and diode D.
2. The DC voltage developed across the diode D is connected to the bases of both the transistors
through the secondary winding of the input transformer.
3. This voltage acts as DC bias for the transistors because it is equal to cut-in voltage and they will
conduct for complete half cycle period of the input to eliminate the cross-over distortion.

Working:

When there is no a.c. input signal is applied both the transistors Q1& Q2 are cut off. Hence no current
is drawn from VCC.
