DESIGN OF RC COUPLED AMPLIFIER

AIM:.
To calculate the voltage gain and to observe the frequency response of RC Coupled
amplifier.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
S.NO NAME OF EQUIPMENT RANGE QUANTITY

1. BJT BC-107 1
2. CRO - 1
3. Signal source 10-20 mv 1
4. Power supply DC - 1
5. Resistors 15kΩ, 2.2k Ω, 1.5kΩ, Each two
10k Ω, 1k Ω, 3.3k Ω
6. Capacitors 4.7µF,100 µF, 1 µF Each two

THEORY:
An RC coupled amplifier is a part of a multistage amplifier wherein different stages of
amplifiers are connected using a combination of resistor and a capacitor. Generally, at least two
or more than two stages are connected in cascade combination. If the output of one amplifier is
connected (coupled) to the input of another amplifier, the stages are said to be connected in
"cascade". The benefit of cascaded amplifiers is to develop an output voltage larger than either
stage alone can develop. The overall gain or system gain of the cascaded amplifiers is the
product of each individual stage gain, or
AV = AVl x AV2 x AVn ………….(1)

Total Voltage = gain of x gain of x gain of any

first stage second stage number of stages


Fig. RC Coupled Amplifier

An RC-Coupled network is shown in fig. The network of R2 and C1 enclosed in the


dashed lines is the coupling network. C1 is the coupling capacitor which connects the output of
Ql to the input of Q2.

FORMULA:
Voltage gain as amplification Av = 20log (Vo/Vin) in dB
Where, Vin= input voltage in mV.
V0 = output voltage in V
Av = Voltage gain

PROCEDURE:
 BJT amplifier circuit is connected in the bread board.
 The power supply is switched on.
 Keeping the input frequency as constant at 500Hz,varying the input voltage
and corresponding output voltage is noted.
 With Vin=200mV, the frequency is varied and corresponding output voltage
vout is found and noted.
 An amplifier is used to increase the signal level. The output should follow
the input over the range of frequencies at which it is to be used. An
amplifier should ideally provide amplification.
 The degree to which this is done usually indicated by a cure known as
frequency response curve of amplifier.
 Bandwidth of the amplifier is defined as the difference between F2 and F1,
when the F2 is high frequency region and F1 is low frequency region.
Bandwidth (BW)=F2-F1(Hz)
