This study module extends student knowledge of biasing and feedback requirements of transistor amplifiers through a wide range of practical activities.
Typical activities include:
Determine values to be used for transistor amplifier circuit components
Investigate the effects of series current AC feedback on a base potential divider biased amplifier
Diagnose a fault in a directly coupled two stage transistor amplifier circuit
Investigate the AC behavior of a variable class amplifier in Class A, B, and AB modes
Identify the uses of transformers in single and multistage amplifier circuits
Investigate the AC behavior of a tuned load amplifier with variable Q Factor
Investigate the indirect coupling in a double-tuned amplifier
