In transistor amplifier design, a by-pass capacitor is connected across the emitter resistor, RE, to effectively short out the emitter resistor at signal frequencies. This design improves the gain of the transistor for the desired ac signals. The circuit as shown in (a) is a common-emitter amplifier. The shaded portion is a low-frequency model of the transistor in use. In this problem, the task is to design a proper by-pass capacitor so that there is a pole at s = -300 rad/s. Reduce the circuit to its Thévenin equivalent as shown in (b) and then select the proper capacitor. Rs = 10 kQ, R = 2 KQ, RE = 3.3 KQ, RL 1 kQ, and B = 70. w Rs vs(1) M R₁3 Zr(s) ww Vy(s) vc(1) Big(1) VC(s) (b) R₁ CE
Power Amplifier
The power amplifier is an electronic amplifier designed to maximize the signal strength of a given input. The input signal strength is enhanced to a high enough level to drive output devices such as speakers, headphones, RF (Radio frequency) transmitters, etc. Unlike voltage / current amplifiers, the power amplifier is designed to drive core loads directly and is used as a storage block in the amplifier series.
Maximum Efficiency Criterion
In every field of engineering, there is a tremendous use of the machine and all those machines are equipped for their popular work efficiency so it very much important for operation engineers to monitor the efficiency of the machine, planning engineers to check out the efficiency of the machine before installing the machine and design engineers to design machine for higher efficiency than and then the utility will procure their products that will ultimately lead to profit and loss of the company. It indicates the importance of efficiency right from the initial stage as manufacturing units, intermediate stage as planning coordinators, and end-users stage as a utility.
