Amplifiers

The document outlines various types of coupling used in amplifiers, including RC, LC, transformer, and direct coupling, along with their advantages and applications. Transformer coupling is favored for impedance matching and RF amplification, while RC coupling is noted for its wide frequency response and low distortion. Direct coupling offers benefits like a wide frequency response and the ability to amplify DC signals, but has drawbacks such as poor temperature stability and DC shifts in output.

Two stage transformer coupled amplifier.
Advantages:

• Transformer coupling is mostly employed for


impedance matching
• It is used as final stage. It is used to transfer
power to the low impedance lad such as
loudspeaker.
• For amplification of radio frequency (RF)
signal.
• In power amplifiers.
single stage CE amplifier
Operation of Single stage CE amplifier
• The circuit diagram of a voltage amplifier using single transistor in CE
configuration is shown in figure. It is also known as a small-signal single-
stage CE amplifier or RC coupled CE amplifier. It is also known as a voltage
amplifier.
• The potential divider biasing is provided by resistors R1, R2 and RE.
• It provides good stabilization of the operating point. The capacitors CC1
and CC2 are called the coupling capacitors used to block the AC voltage
signals at the input and the output sides.
• The capacitor CE works as a bypass capacitor. It bypasses all the AC
currents from the emitter to the ground and avoids the negative current
feedback. It increases the output AC voltage.
• The resistance RL represents the resistance of whatever is connected at
the output. It may be load resistance or input resistance of the next stage
Types of Coupling in Multistage
• In multistage amplifiers, the output signal of
preceding stage is to be connected to the
input of next stage.
• Coupling techniques:
1. R-C coupling
2. Transformer Coupling
3. Direct Coupling
Two stage RC coupled amplifier
Advantages of RC coupled Amplifier
