Introduction and Objectives adjusted the VI until VO = 5V. We also measured the VI
and VBE, and found that VBE = 0.8V and VI = 3.5V.
Although BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) has lost its When compared to our pre-lab calculation (in which VI
polarity in IC (Integrated circuit ) design, it is really = 3.44V and VBE = 0.75V), the measurement was
useful in discrete circuit design [1]. In this lab, we pretty close. Since, the input signal 1Vpp sine wave,
were instructed to measure and analyze the common the biased was enough for signal swing. Then, we

equal to 1.29V. Therefore, when we gave input signal We connected the circuit as in figure 5. As in
= 1.5V, we saw that the output signal was clipped off. procedure 1, we adjusted the VI until, we got VO =
2V. We also measured VI and VBE, and got VI =
0.75V and VBE = 0.75V, and IB = 0.4 μA. Then,
we captured the screen image of input and output
signal by giving input sine wave 1Vpp with 1KHz
frequency.

Discussion
We found that in common emitter circuit, the input
resistance is greater than output resistance, and the
voltage gain is very high, almost 300 times. But in
common collector circuit, the output resistance is
higher than input resistance, and the voltage gain is
less than 1. However, the current gain is really high in
common collector circuit.
