Circuits Elements and Functions of Practical Transistor Amplifier


Practical Transistor Amplifier

The below fig shows a practical single stage transistor amplifier. The various circuit elements and their functions are described below.

Practical Transistor Amplifier

1.       Biasing Circuit: The resistor R1, R2, andRE form the biasing and stabilization circuit.
2.       Input Capacitor Cin: An electrolytic capacitor Cinis used to couple the signal to the base of the transistor. The capacitor Cinallows only a.c. signal to flow but isolates the signal source from R2. If it is not used, the signal source resistance will come across R2and thus change the bias. Typical value of Cin is 10µF.
3.       Emitter Bypass Capacitor CE: An emitter bypass capacitor CE is used in parallel with RE to provide a low reactance path to the amplified a.c. signal. If it is not used, then amplified a.c. signal flowing through RE will cause a voltage drop across it, thereby reducing the output voltage. Typical value of CE is 100µF.

4.       Coupling Capacitor CC: The coupling capacitor CCcouples one stage of amplifier to the next stage. If it is not used, the bias conditions of the next stage will be drastically changed due to parallel with the resistance R1 of the biasing network of the next stage. Thereby it alters the biasing conditions of next stage. The coupling capacitor CC isolates the d.c. of one stage from the next stage, but allows the passage of a.c. signal. Typical value of CC is 10µF.

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...

Simple Electromagnetic Field Detector Schematic

This circuit is sensitive to low frequency electromagnetic radiation and will detect for example hidden wiring or the field that encompasses a transformer. Pickup is by a radial type inductor, used as a probe which responds well to low frequency changing magnetic and electric fields. Ordinary headphones are used to for detection. The field that surrounds a transformer is heard as a 50 or 60Hz buzz. The circuit is below:- Electromagnetic Field Detector Circuit Diagram Notes: I threaded a length of screened cable through an old pen tube and soldered the ends to a radial type can inductor. I used 1mH. The inductor fitted snugly into the pen tube. The opposite end of the cable connects to the input of the op-amp. Any op-amp should work here, possibly better results may be achieved with a low noise FET type such as the LF351. The 2M2 potentiometer acts as a gain control and the output is a pair of headphones. Stereo types can be used if they are wired as mono. I used an 8 ohm type, but the ...
