7. A bipolar junction transistor amplifier is shown below. Assume that the current source Ibias is ideal, and the transistor has very large β, rb = 0 and r0 -> ∞.

Determine the ac small signal mid band voltage gain (Vo / Vs), input resistance (Ri) and output resistance (Ro) of the circuit. Assume VT = 26 mV.

8. A JFET having µ = 50 and rd = 10 kΩ is used in a common source configuration as shown. The JFET capaciances are Cgs = 5 pF, Cgd = 2 pF and Cds = 2 pF.

Determine the ac small signal mid band voltage gain (Vo/Vs) and the upper 3 dB frequency of the circuit.
Answer: -25, 4 MHz

9. Neatly sketch and label the DC transfer characteristic (Vo verses Vin) of the circuit shown, as Vin varies from – 2 volts to + 2 volts.

Assume ideal operational amplifier and the diodes have a forward voltage of 0.6 volts and zero incremental resistance.
Answer: Same as output of Half Wave Rectifier
Solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQxPNSMoOiw


10. A transistor LC oscillator circuit is shown below.

Assume that the transistor has very high value of β(so that you may neglect rb). Derive an equation governing the circuit operation, and find the frequency of oscillation. Also state the gain condition required for oscillation to start.
Solution: This circuit is Colpitts Oscillator using BJT as amplifier. Refer any text book of EDC to know the condition for oscillations. We dont expect this type of questions will come these days....... as it is a 5 mark question in GATE 1999.
