Coupl i ng Capac i tor

• The capacitor effectively blocks dc voltage and transmits ac voltage.
• frequency is high , the capacitive reactance is much smaller than the resistance.
• almost all the ac source voltage appears across the resistor.
• It couples or transmits the ac signal to the resistor.
How it works
• They allow us to couple an ac signal into an amplifier without disturbing its Q point (operation).
• Its reactance must be much smaller than the resistance at the lowest frequency of the ac source.
Coupling capacitors are important
• 𝑋𝐶 < 0.1𝑅
Good coupling

• The ac voltage on the base produces the ac emitter current
• This ac emitter current has the same frequency as the ac base voltage.
• The ac emitter current is not a perfect replica of the ac base voltage because of the curvature of the graph.
• Since the graph is curved upward, the positive half-cycle of the ac emitter current is elongated (stretched) and the negative half-cycle is compressed.
• This stretching and compressing of alternate half-cycles is called distortion.
• It is undesirable in high-fidelity amplifiers because it changes the sound of voice and music.
Distortion

• by keeping the ac base voltage small.
• reduce the peak value of the base voltage, the movement of the instantaneous operating point reduces.
• The smaller this swing or variation, the less the curvature in the graph.
• If the signal is small enough, the graph appears to be linear
Reduce Distortion
• negligible distortion for a small signal.
• When the signal is small, the changes in ac emitter current are almost directly proportional to the changes in ac base voltage because the graph is almost linear.
• if the ac base voltage is a small enough sine wave, the ac emitter current will also be a small sine wave with no noticeable stretching or compression of half-cycles.
Why is this important?
Analyz ing an ampl i f ie r
Ran Yang || [email protected]
• The simplest way to analyze an amplifier is to split the analysis into two parts: a dc analysis and an ac analysis.
• we mentally open all capacitors. The circuit that remains is the dc-equivalent circuit.
• The most important current in the dc analysis is the dc emitter current.
The DC-Equivalent Circuit
• Reducing the dc voltage source to zero is equivalent to shorting it.
• Therefore, to calculate the effect of the ac source, we can short the dc voltage source.
• From now on, we will short all dc voltage sources when analyzing the ac operation of an amplifier.
• this means that each dc voltage supply point acts like an ac ground.

The l oad i ng e f fec t o f i npu t impedance

• an ac voltage source vg has an internal resistance of RG.
• When the ac generator is not stiff, some of the ac source voltage is dropped across its internal resistance. As a result, the ac voltage between the base and ground is less than ideal.
• The ac generator has to drive the input impedance of the stage zin(stage).
• This input impedance includes the effects of the biasing resistors R1 and R2, in parallel with the input impedance of the base zin(base).

• When the generator is not stiff, the ac input voltage vin is less than vg.
• With the voltage-divider theorem, we can write:

What e l se do we need do i n t he lab?
Ran Yang || [email protected]
Our function generator doesn’t provide very small signal
We can use the built-in -20dB attenuator to make the signal 10 times smaller
The lowest I can get out of our function generator is 200mV, not small enough
We need to build an attenuator (resistor network) to make the signal another 10 to 20 times smaller

• Discrete means that all components, such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors, are separately inserted and connected to get the final circuit.
• A discrete circuit differs from an integrated circuit (IC), in which all the components are simultaneously created and connected on a chip, a piece of semiconductor material.
• Later chapters will discuss the op amp, an IC amplifier that produces voltage gains of more than 100,000
The standard way to build a discrete transistor amplifier.
