VOLTAGE DIVIDER FREQUENCY ANALYSIS

Objectives:

1. To obtain the frequency response of voltage divider circuits

consisting BJTs.

2. To detemine the mid frequency and the A vmid .

3. To determine the low cutoff frequency and the high cutoff

frequency of a BJT amplifier circuits.

Materials:

2N2222 NPN transistor

C9012 PNP transistor

1k resistor

1.2k resistor

2.2k resistor

3.3k resistor

10k resistor

47k resistor

820nF ceramic capacitor

Power supply

Oscilloscope

Function generator

Procedures:

1. onnect the circuit of Figure 1.1.

Figure 1.1
Common Base
Amplifier

2. Turn on the oscilloscope and observe the waveform of the output.

Adjust the potentiometer if it is distorted and correct it.

3. Adjust the function generator for low amplitude sine wave at

1kHz.

4. Record the magnitude of the mid frequency and the Vin and Vout
at the moment.

5. Slowly decrease the value of frequency until the output reaches

approximately half of the Vout of the mid frequency to obtainthe
low cut-off frequency.

6. Record the magnitude the low cut-off frequency the Vin and Vout.

7. Do Step 5 but this time by increasing the frequency

8. For the Voltage Divider with the output at the collector

configuration and emitter, connect the circuit of Figure 1.2 and
Figure 1.3 and obtain the data required by repeating step 2-7.

A vmid = = = 72.63
Vi 38 mV

At the low cut-off frequency,

Vo 1.42 V
Av = = = 44.37
Vi 32mV

At the high cut-off frequency,

Vo 1.44 V
Av = = = 45.0
Vi 32 mV

The low cut-off frequency is located at 0.61 1 A vmid and the high
frequency is located at 0.620 A vmid
 Output at the collector:

The results indicates positive values since it displays the peak-to-peak

voltage but it is clear in the wave that the output and input has opposite
trends.

Vi 36 mV

The low cut-off frequency is located at 0.614 A vmid and the high
frequency is located at 0.684 A vmid .

Output at the emitter:

The input and output voltage almost have the same value because the gain
is approximately equal to 1.
