 EXPERIMENT 7: COMMON EMITTER AMPLIFIER

I. OBJECTIVES

1. To investigate the amplifying action of a bipolar junction transistor as common-emitter

amplifier circuit configuration.

2. To determine the dc operating voltages of common-emitter amplifier configuration.

3. To simulate the output signal of a common emitter using oscilloscope with the given input
signal and its voltage phase relationship.

II. BASIC CONCEPT

BJT amplifiers have three configurations: common-emitter, common-collector, and common-

base, each having unique combination of characteristics.

In common-emitter amplifier (CE), emitter of the transistor is common to both the input and
output of the circuit. Typically it has midrange values of voltage and current gain (ranges from 100 to
1000), high power gain (greater than 1000), and midrange input and output impedances (ranges from
1KΩ to 10KΩ).

The input and output voltages of a CE amplifier have a phase shift of 180⁰ regardless of the input
and output currents’ phase.

A small-signal amplifier is designed to operate affectively with small ac input signals, at power
levels less than 1W. a small-signal is one whose peak-to-peak ac current value is less than 0.1 times the
amplifier’s input bias current.

vertical attenuator of the oscilloscope marked V/division.
8. Calculate the voltage gain of the amplifier from the formula Av = Vout / Vin and record it in Table 6.1.

 Common emmiter amplifier is frequent to each the input and output circuit, by means of
searching at the circuit, the input is related at the base output at the collecter and both the enter and
output is connected in the emmiter that configuration is recognized as the frequent emitter amplifier.

In DC circuit of the frequent emitter, removing the ac sources is a have to by way of shorting the
capacitors which will make them open in the circuit and then what will be left is the voltage divider bias
circuit which consists of resistors and the voltage source.

After configuring the circuit the next step is to locate operating points which is the
collector contemporary and the collecter emitter is, the usage of the voltage divider bias circuit there is a
situation that if the R2 < (0.1)(β)(Re) then the approximation have to be that there is no base present day
going in to the transistor then the circuit is a really voltage divider bias, by way of having this assumption
the voltage of the emmiter will be the voltage of the emitter less than the voltage of the base, to get the
emitter current ohm's regulation is applicable, using this apporximation technique the collecter modern-
day and the emitter current has about the identical modern output, after amassing all the effects Vce can
be calculated the usage of voltage divider bias.

The characteristic of the layout of the frequent emitter shows that it has a low input
impedance and it is an inverting amplifier, and to get the easiest power gain the medium voltage and
contemporary attain have to be combined.

X. CONCLUSIONS

In this Experiment, we realized what a typical common amplifier is and how can it functions. We
discovered that common emmitter amplifier is a straightforward single BJT and is utilized as voltage
amplifier. Common emitter amplifier has an alternate kinds of transistor amplifier worked by utilizing an
AC signal input. Common emmitter Amplifier arrangement is broadly utilized due to its advantage of
moderate and voltage gain. The Common emitter have points of interest and burdens. Its benefits is that
common emitter has an extremely low input impendence, it has a very high output impendence, the
current increase and voltage are moderate , it give 180 degrees stage move, while its burdens is that
common emitter amplifier has a high Thermal instability. In general, any amplifier circuit where the
emitter is straightforwardly or through a resistor is associated with the ground is a common emitter
amplifer

 1. Indicate which junctions or electrodes where the input signal is introduced, and between which
electrodes the output signal is taken for the following circuit configuration;
a. Common-emitter amplifier
Input is between Base Terminal and Ground Emitter
Output is between Collector terminal and Ground Emitter
b. Common-base amplifier
Input is between Emitter and Base Terminal
Output is between Collector and Base Terminal

c. Common-collector amplifier
Input is between Emitter and Base
Output is between Collector and Emitter

2. Which transistor amplifier circuit configuration provides both voltage and current gain?
Bipolar Transistor Configurations

Common Emitter Configuration– has both Current and Voltage Gain. Common
Collector Configuration– has Current Gain but no Voltage

3. Which transistor amplifier circuit configuration causes a 180° phase shift input to output?

The common emitter transistor amplifier is the only configuration that gives an inversion, 180°,
between the input and output signals. The reason for this can be seen from the fact that as the input
voltage rises, so the current increases through the base circuit.
