Discussion

In this assignment, there are 3 stage of amplifiers are applied which are in the
configuration of CS, CE and CC. Each stage has its own specification for the audio
amplifier which achieve a constant 30dB voltage gain in between the range of 20Hz to
20kHZ.

Stage 1 Common Source JFET Amplifier

This is the first stage of the audio amplifier which is to amplify the input voltage
signal with a 180 degree phase shift as shown in Figure 2. It provide high input
impedance and moderate voltage gain.

Stage 2 Common Emitter BJT Amplifier

The output of the Common Source(CS) JFET is then connected to a Common

Emitter(CE) BJT Amplifier as shown in Figure 3. This configuration relies on the
high input impedance of the source to achieve high gain. It is also an inverting
amplifier.

Stage 3 Emitter Follower

The final stage of the audio amplifier is the Emitter Follower(CC) BJT circuit as
shown in Figure 4 whose purpose is to handle the high gain stage required by the load
and provide low value of output impedance.

The purpose of components used in the circuit configuration

C1,C3,C4 and C6: This is a coupling capacitor which allows the AC signal to pass
through to the next stage but it will blocks DC signal. It protects the load(microphone)
from receiving a DC current of the amplifier's bias circuit and protects the amplifier's
bias circuit from being disturbed by the impedance of the microphone. C1 transmits
the voltage fluctuations from the microphone, superimposing them upon the bias
voltage between R1 and R2.

C2 and C5: These capacitors bypass the R3 and R7 resistors respectively for AC
signals. R3 and R7 provide a negative feedback which reduces gain. By introducing
bypass capacitor, it get rid of the feedback for AC signals. Thus, AC signals do not
experience negative feedback, the gain is much higher for those signals.Therefore,
R3,R4 and R7,R8 provide a stable DC bias for Q1 and Q2 respectively, and C2 is
applied to create a higher gain for AC.

R5,R6 and R9,R10: These resistors form a voltage divider, establishing a

voltage-divider bias for the base of transistor Q2 and Q3 and turning the transistors on
by the voltage supply of 9V.

R3, R7 and R11: These emitter resistors provides feedback to stabilize the DC bias
of Q1,Q2 and Q3 respectively.

Q1: This MOSFET is the first amplification stage, a common-source(CS) voltage

amplifier. It amplifies the voltage of the input signal. Also, it inverts the input signal
with out of phase. To provide an output signal which is in phase, a Q2 is applied on
the next stage.

Q2: This BJT is the second amplification stage, a common-emitter (CE) voltage
amplifier. It amplify the voltage signal from the output of Q1.Since it is also an
inverting amplifier, it transform the output signal from Q1 which is out of phase with
the input signal into a new signal which is in phase with the input signal. Therefore,
the new output signal will be the exactly same with the input signal variations with
amplification.

Q3: This BJT transistor is set up as a current amplifying emitter-follower stage. There
is no load resistor placed on top of the collector of Q3. Instead, the output is taken
from the top of the emitter resistor R11. In addition, Q3 stage is needed because it is
able to deliver to more current than previous stage even though it does not amplify
voltage but it amplify power.
