4- Amplifier Distortion

Image
Amplifier Distortion Amplifier Distortion can take on many forms such as Amplitude, Frequency and Phase Distortion due to Clipping. For a signal amplifier to operate correctly without any distortion to the output signal, it requires some form of DC Bias on its Base or Gate terminal. A DC bias is required so that the amplifier can amplify the input signal over its entire cycle with the bias “Q-point” set as near to the middle of the load line as possible. The bias Q-point setting will give us a “Class-A” type amplification configuration with the most common arrangement being the “Common Emitter” for Bipolar transistors or the “Common Source” configuration for unipolar FET transistors. The Power, Voltage or Current Gain, (amplification) provided by the amplifier is the ratio of the peak output value to its peak input value (Output ÷ Input). However, if we incorrectly design our amplifier circuit and set the biasing Q-point at the wrong position on the load line or apply too...

9- Emitter Resistance

Emitter Resistance Emitter Resistance connected to the emitter terminal of a transistor amplifier can be used to increases the amplifiers bias stabilisation The aim of an AC signal amplifier circuit is to stabilise the DC biased input voltage to the amplifier and thus only amplify the required AC signal. This stabilisation is achieved by the use of an  Emitter Resistance  which provides the required amount of automatic biasing needed for a common emitter amplifier. To explain this a little further, consider the following basic amplifier circuit below. Basic Common Emitter Amplifier Circuit The common emitter amplifier circuit shown uses a voltage divider network to bias the transistors base and the common emitter configuration is a very popular way of designing bipolar transistor amplifier circuits. An important feature of this circuit is that an appreciable amount of current flows into the base of the transistor. The voltage at the junction of the two bias...
