this circuit is pre-amplification i.e to make weak signals strong enough for further processing or
amplification. If designed properly, this amplifier can provide excellent signal characteristics.
Input Capacitor Cin is the input DC decoupling capacitor which blocks any DC component if
present in the input signal from reaching the Q1 base. If any external DC voltage reaches the
base of Q1, it will alter the biasing conditions and affects the performance of the amplifier.
The resistors R1 and R2 are the biasing resistors. This network provides the transistor Q1s base
with the necessary bias voltage to drive it into the active region. The region of operation where
the transistor is completely switched of is called cut-off region and the region of operation where
the transistor is completely switched ON (like a closed switch) is called saturation region. The
region in between cut-off and saturation is called active region. For a transistor amplifier to
function properly, it should operate in the active region. Let us consider this simple situation
where there is no biasing for the transistor. As we all know, a silicon transistor requires 0.7 volts
for switch ON and surely this 0.7 V will be taken from the input audio signal by the transistor. So
all parts of there input wave form with amplitude 0.7V will be absent in the output waveform.
In the other hand if the transistor is given with a heavy bias at the base ,it will enter into
saturation (fully ON) and behaves like a closed switch so that any further change in the base
current due to the input audio signal will not cause any change in the output. The voltage across
collector and emitter will be 0.2V at this condition (Vce sat = 0.2V). That is why proper biasing
is required for the proper operation of a transistor amplifier.

THEORY :
A very popular connection of two BJTs for operation as one super beta transistor is the
Darlington connection. The main feature of Darlington connection is that the composite
transistor acts, as a single unit with a current gain is equal to product of individual current gains.
i.e. D = 1x2 if 1= 2 = Then D = 2
To make the two transistors Darlington pair, the emitter terminal of the first transistor is
connected to the base of the second transistor and the collector terminals of the two transistors
are connected together. The result is that emitter current of the first transistor is the base current
of the second transistor. The biasing analysis is similar to that for single transistor except that two
VBE drops are to be considered. In a circuit if the output voltage is approximately equal to the
input voltage, such a circuit is known as emitter follower. In the transistor emitter follower
circuit the output is taken from the emitter terminal. The voltage gain is approximately equal to
unity and output voltage is in phase with the input voltage. The emitter follower configuration is
frequently used for impedance matching and to increase the current gain. Sometimes the current
gain and input impedance of emitter followers are insufficient to meet the requirement. In order
to increase the overall values of circuit current gain (Ai) and input impedance, two transistors are
connected in series in emitter follower configuration to obtain Darlington connection.
PROCEDURE :
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The supply voltages of 11V and the input peak to peak voltage kept at 0.1V at 1KHz
frequency from signal generator is applied to the circuit
3. The frequency of the input is varied from 50Hz to 2MHz and output voltage Vo is noted
down.
4. Gain is calculated in dB and a graph of frequency versus gain in dB is plotted on semilog
sheet.
5. DC Conditions and input impedance and output impedance are also noted down.

THEORY :
Amplifiers use current or voltage as input and output, so four types of amplifier are possible. The
four basic types of amplifiers are as follows:
Voltage amplifier This is the most common type of amplifier. An input voltage is amplified to a
larger output voltage. The amplifier's input impedance is high and theoutput impedance is low.
Current amplifier This amplifier changes an input current to a larger output current. The
amplifier's input impedance is low and the output impedance is high.
Transconductance amplifier This amplifier responds to a changing input voltage by delivering
related changing output current. Transresistance amplifier This amplifier responds to a
changing input current by delivering a related changing output voltage. Other names for the
device
are
transimpedance
amplifier
and current-to-voltage
converter.
Any of these four choices may be the open-loop amplifier used to construct the feedback
amplifier. The objective for the feedback amplifier also may be any one of the four types of
amplifier, not necessarily the same type as the open-loop amplifier. For example, an op amp
(voltage amplifier) can be arranged to make a current amplifier instead. The conversion from one
type to another is implemented using different feedback connections, usually referred to as series
or shunt (parallel) connections.
PROCUDURE :
Rig up the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
1. Check Q conditions i.e,. measure VDS and VGS.
2. Set Vi = 1V or 2V at 10 KHz on Audio signal Generator and measure gain AV without
feedback.
3. Disconnect short of Green and Black terminal of signal generator to avoid grounding
problem or isolate ground of signal generator.
4. Measure VO with feedback & find AVf the gain with feedback. Note AVf is less than AV
5. To plot freq response, note output voltage with and without feedback from 100Hz to
10MHz

Theory:
RC phase shift oscillator or simply RC oscillator is a type of oscillator where a simple RC
network (resistor-capacitor) network is used for giving the required phase shift to the feedback
signal. In LC oscillators like Hartley oscillator and Colpitts oscillator an LC network (inductorcapacitor network) is used for providing the necessary positive feedback. The main feature of an
RC phase shift oscillator is the excellent frequency stability. The RC oscillator can output a pure
sine wave on a wide range of loads.
RC phase shift network is a simple resistor capacitor network that can be used to give a desired
phase shift to a signal. The circuit diagram of a simple single stage RC network is shown in the
figure below.

Therotically in a simple RC circuit, the output voltage will lead the input voltage by a phase
angle =90. Anyway in practical case the phase angle will be something below 90 just
because it is impossible to get a purely ideal capacitor. Phase shift of a practical RC network
depends on the value of the capacitor, resistor and the operating frequency. Let F be the operating
frequency, R be the resistance and C be the capacitance. Then the capacitive reactance Xc to the
frequency F can be given by the equation Xc = 1 / (2FC).The effective impedance of the circuit

can be given by the equation Z = ( R + Xc). The phase angle of the RC network can be
derived as = tan-1 (Xc/R). Just by making an RC network with phase shift equal to 60 and
cascading three of them together the desired phase shift of 180 can be attained. This 180 phase
shift by the RC network plus the 180 phase shift made by the transistor gives a total phase shift
of 360 between the input and output which is the necessary condition for maintaining sustained
oscillations.

THEORY:
Hartley oscillator:
The Hartley oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit in which the oscillation frequency is
determined by a tuned circuit consisting of capacitors and inductors, that is, an LC oscillator. The
circuit was invented in 1915 by American engineer Ralph Hartley. The distinguishing feature of
the Hartley oscillator is that the tuned circuit consists of a single capacitor in parallel with two
inductors in series (or a single tapped inductor), and the feedback signal needed for oscillation is
taken from the center connection of the two inductors
The Hartley oscillator is distinguished by a tank circuit consisting of two seriesconnected coils (or, often, a tapped coil) in parallel with a capacitor, with an amplifier between
the relatively High impedance across the entire LC tank and the relatively low voltage/high
current point between the coils. The original 1915 version used a triode as the amplifying device
in Common plate (cathode follower) configuration, with three batteries, and separate adjustable
coils. The most simple of implementations shown here uses nothing but aJFET (in Commondrain configuration) and the LC tank circuit (here the single winding is tapped), plus a single
battery; it will work, but probably with high distortion and high current drain (that could be
improved by adding resistance between the source and the coil tap), and serves as an
uncomplicated illustration of the Hartley oscillator operation:

the output from the JFET's source (emitter, if a BJT had been used; cathode for a triode)
has the same phase as the signal at its gate (or base) - and roughly the same voltage as its
input (which is the voltage across the entire tank circuit), but the current is amplified, i.e. it is
acting as a current buffer or voltage-controlled voltage-source.

this low impedance output is then fed into the coil tapping, effectively into
an autotransformer that will step up the voltage, requiring a relatively high current
(compared with that available at the top of the coil).

With the capacitor-coil resonance, all frequencies other than the tuned frequency will
tend to be absorbed (the tank will appear as nearly zero ohms near DC due to the inductor's
low reactance at low frequencies, and low again at very high frequencies due to the
capacitor); they will also shift the phase of the feedback from the zero degrees needed for
oscillation at all but the tuned frequency.

Colpitts oscillator: The Colpitts circuit, like other LC oscillators, consists of a gain device (such
as a bipolar junction transistor, field effect transistor, operational amplifier, or vacuum tube) with

its output connected to its input in a feedback loop containing a parallel LC circuit (tuned circuit)
which functions as a bandpass filter to set the frequency of oscillation.
A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator, where the feedback signal is
taken from an "inductive" voltage divider consisting of two coils in series (or a tapped coil). Fig.
1 shows the common-base Colpitts circuit. L and the series combination of C1 and C2 form the
parallel resonant tank circuit which determines the frequency of the oscillator. The voltage
across C2 is applied to the base-emitter junction of the transistor, as feedback to create
oscillations. Fig. 2 shows the common-collector version. Here the voltage across C1 provides
feedback. The frequency of oscillation is approximately the resonant frequency of the LC circuit,
which is the series combination of the two capacitors in parallel with the inductor

THEORY :
One of the most important features of any oscillator is its frequency stability, or in other words
its ability to provide a constant frequency output under varying load conditions. Some of the
factors that affect the frequency stability of an oscillator generally include: variations in
temperature, variations in the load as well as changes to its DC power supply voltage to name a
few. Frequency stability of the output signal can be improved by the proper selection of the
components used for the resonant feedback circuit including the amplifier but there is a limit to
the stability that can be obtained from normal LC and RC tank circuits. To obtain a very high
level of oscillator stability a Quartz Crystal is generally used as the frequency determining device
to produce another types of oscillator circuit known generally as a Quartz Crystal Oscillator,
(XO). The quartz crystal used in a Quartz Crystal Oscillator is a very small, thin piece or wafer
of cut quartz with the two parallel surfaces metallised to make the required electrical
connections. The physical size and thickness of a piece of quartz crystal is tightly controlled
since it affects the final or fundamental frequency of oscillations. The fundamental frequency is
called the crystals characteristic frequency.

THEORY:
The Diode Clipper, also known as a Diode Limiter, is a wave shaping circuit that takes an input
waveform and clips or cuts off its top half, bottom half or both halves together to produce an
output waveform that resembles a flattened version of the input. For example, the half-wave
rectifier is a clipper circuit, since all voltages below zero are eliminated.
But Diode Clipping Circuits can be used a variety of applications to modify an input
waveform using signal and Schottky diodes or to provide over-voltage protection using Zener
Diodes to ensure that the output voltage never exceeds a certain level protecting the circuit from
high voltage spikes. Then diode clipping circuits can be used in voltage limiting applications.

THEORY:
A clamping circuit is used to place either the positive or negative peak of a signal at a desired
level. The dc component is simply added or subtracted to/from the input signal. The clamper is
also referred to as an IC restorer and ac signal level shifter.
In some cases, like a TV receiver, when the signal passes through the capacitive coupling
network, it loses its dc component. This is when the clamper circuit is used so as to re-establish
the the dc component into the signal input. Though the dc component that is lost in transmission
is not the same as that introduced through a clamping circuit, the necessity to establish the
extremity of the positive or negative signal excursion at some reference level is important. A
clamp circuit adds the positive or negative dc component to the input signal so as to push it either
on the positive side or on the negative side. The circuit will be called a positive clamper , when
the signal is pushed upward by the circuit. The circuit will be called a negative clamper, when
the signal is pushed downward by the circuit.

Analog Electronics Circuits Lab Manual

III Semester ECE

The important points regarding clamping circuits are:


(i) The shape of the waveform will be the same, but its level is shifted either upward or
downward,
(ii) There will be no change in the peak-to-peak or rms value of the waveform due to the
clamping circuit. Thus, the input waveform and output waveform will have the same peak-topeak value that is, 2Vmax. This is shown in the figure above. It must also be noted that same
readings will be obtained in the ac voltmeter for the input voltage and the clamped output
voltage.
(iii) There will be a change in the peak and average values of the waveform. In the figure shown
above, the input waveform has a peak value of V max and average value over a complete cycle is
zero. The clamped output varies from 2 Vmax and 0 (or 0 and -2Vmax). Thus ths peak value of the
clamped output is 2Vmax and average value is Vmax.
(iv) The values of the resistor R and capacitor C affect the waveform.
(v) The values for the resistor R and capacitor C should be determined from the time constant
equation of the circuit, t = RC. The values must be large enough to make sure that the voltage
across the capacitor C does not change significantly during the time interval the diode is nonconducting. In a good clamper circuit, the circuit time constant t = RC should be at least ten
times the time period of the input signal voltage.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The input voltages of 8V peak to peak at 2kHz is applied from the signal generator to the
circuit.
3. For the given input, Vref is varied and the clamped waveform i.e output waveform can be
observed on the CRO screen and clamped level is noted down in the tabular column.
4. Keep the CRO in the dual mode, connect the input Vin to Channel 1 of CRO and output
waveform is connected to Channel 2 of CRO

One of the main disadvantages of the Class B amplifier circuit above is that it uses balanced
center-tapped transformers in its design, making it expensive to construct. However, there is
another type of Class B amplifier called a Complementary-Symmetry Class B Amplifier that
does not use transformers in its design therefore, it is transformerless using instead
complementary or matching pairs of power transistors. As transformers are not needed this
makes the amplifier circuit much smaller for the same amount of output, also there are no stray
magnetic effects or transformer distortion to effect the quality of the output signal. The main
disadvantage of class B type push-pull amplifiers is that they suffer from an effect known
commonly as Crossover Distortion. A simple way to eliminate crossover distortion in a Class B
amplifier is to add two small voltage sources to the circuit to bias both the transistors at a point
slightly above their cut-off point. This then would give us what is commonly called an Class AB
Amplifier circuit. However, it is impractical to add additional voltage sources to the amplifier
circuit so PN-junctions are used to provide the additional bias in the form of silicon diodes.
PROCUDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The supply voltages are kept at 8V and the input peak to peak voltage kept at 15V in
CRO.
3. The resulting Idc is noted from ammeter.
4. The output Vo(p-p) is raised to match input and resulting power are calculated and also
efficiency.

THEORY:
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which
periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The
process is known as rectification. In half wave rectification of a single-phase supply, either the
positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed, while the other half is blocked. Because only
one half of the input waveform reaches the output, mean voltage is lower. Half-wave rectification
requires a single diode in a single-phase supply, or three in a three-phase supply. Rectifiers yield
a unidirectional but pulsating direct current; half-wave rectifiers produce far more ripple than
full-wave rectifiers, and much more filtering is needed to eliminate harmonics of the AC
frequency from the output.
In a Full Wave Rectifier circuit two diodes are now used, one for each half of the cycle.
A multiple winding transformer is used whose secondary winding is split equally into two halves
with a common centre tapped connection, (C). This configuration results in each diode
conducting in turn when its anode terminal is positive with respect to the transformer centre
point C producing an output during both half-cycles twice that for the half wave rectifier so it is
100% efficient

The full wave rectifier circuit consists of two power diodes connected to a single load
resistance (RL) with each diode taking it in turn to supply current to the load. When point A of
the transformer is positive with respect to point C, diode D1 conducts in the forward direction as
indicated by the arrows.When point B is positive (in the negative half of the cycle) with respect
to point C, diode D2 conducts in the forward direction and the current flowing through
resistor R is in the same direction for both half-cycles. As the output voltage across the
resistor R is the phasor sum of the two waveforms combined, this type of full wave rectifier
circuit is also known as a bi-phase circuit. As the spaces between each half-wave developed by
each diode is now being filled in by the other diode the average DC output voltage across the
load resistor is now double that of the single half-wave rectifier circuit and is
about 0.637Vmax of the peak voltage, assuming no losses.
Another type of circuit that produces the same output waveform as the full wave rectifier
circuit above, is that of the Full Wave Bridge Rectifier. This type of single phase rectifier uses
four individual rectifying diodes connected in a closed loop bridge configuration to produce
the desired output. The main advantage of this bridge circuit is that it does not require a special
centre tapped transformer, thereby reducing its size and cost. The single secondary winding is
connected to one side of the diode bridge network and the load to the other side of the circuit.
PROCEDURE :
1) Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2) All the values of Vsrms, Isrms, Vrrms, VdcFL, VdcNL are measured and noted down in the tabular

3) The Efficiency, Voltage regulation and ripple factor are calculated.

possible to simplify any Linear circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with
just a single voltage source in series with a resistance connected to a load as shown below.
Thevenins Theorem is especially useful in the Circuit Analysis of power or battery systems and
other interconnected circuits were it will have an effect on the adjoining part of the circuit.
The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem is another useful Circuit Analysis method to
ensure that the maximum amount of power will be dissipated in the load resistance when the
value of the load resistance is exactly equal to the resistance of the power source. The
relationship between the load impedance and the internal impedance of the energy source will
give the power in the load. the impedance of the load will vary from an open-circuit state to a
short-circuit state resulting in the power being absorbed by the load becoming dependent on the
impedance of the actual power source. Then for the load resistance to absorb the maximum
power possible it has to be Matched to the impedance of the power source and this forms the
basis of Maximum Power Transfer.

THEORY :
In a series RLC circuit there becomes a frequency point were the inductive reactance of the
inductor becomes equal in value to the capacitive reactance of the capacitor. In other
words,XL = XC. The point at which this occurs is called the Resonant Frequency point, ( r ) of
the circuit, and as we are analysing a series RLC circuit this resonance frequency produces
a Series Resonance. Series Resonance circuits are one of the most important circuits used
electrical and electronic circuits. They can be found in various forms such as in AC mains filters,
noise filters and also in radio and television tuning circuits producing a very selective tuning
circuit for the receiving of the different frequency channels.
In many ways a parallel resonance circuit is exactly the same as the series resonance
circuit. Both are 3-element networks that contain two reactive components making them a
second-order circuit, both are influenced by variations in the supply frequency and both have a
frequency point where their two reactive components cancel each other out influencing the
characteristics of the circuit. Both circuits have a resonant frequency point. The difference this

time however, is that a parallel resonance circuit is influenced by the currents flowing through
each parallel branch within the parallel LC tank circuit. A tank circuit is a parallel combination
of L and C that is used in filter networks to either select or reject AC frequencies. A parallel
circuit containing a resistance, R, an inductance, L and a capacitance, C will produce aparallel
resonance (also called anti-resonance) circuit when the resultant current through the parallel
combination is in phase with the supply voltage. At resonance there will be a large circulating
current between the inductor and the capacitor due to the energy of the oscillations, then parallel
circuits produce current resonance.
A parallel resonant circuit stores the circuit energy in the magnetic field of the inductor
and the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is constantly being transferred back and forth
between the inductor and the capacitor which results in zero current and energy being drawn
from the supply. This is because the corresponding instantaneous values of IL and IC will always
be equal and opposite and therefore the current drawn from the supply is the vector addition of
these two currents and the current flowing in IR.
In the solution of AC parallel resonance circuits we know that the supply voltage is common for
all branches, so this can be taken as our reference vector. Each parallel branch must be treated
separately as with series circuits so that the total supply current taken by the parallel circuit is the
vector addition of the individual branch currents.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The input voltages of 8V peak to peak at 1kHz is applied from the signal generator to the
circuit.
3. Set the designed R,L & C values decade boxes.
