Theory:
Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is a three terminal (emitter, base, collector)
semiconductor device. There are two types of semiconductors namely NPN and PNP. It
consists of two PN junctions namely emitter junction and collector junction.
The basic circuit diagram for studying input characteristics is shown in the circuit
diagram. The input is applied between emitter and base, the output is taken from
collector and base. Here base of the transistor is common to both input and output and
hence the name common base configuration.
input ac signal is injected into the emitter-base circuit and output is taken from the
collector-base circuit. The E/B junction is forward-biased by VEE where as C/B junction
is reverse-biased by VCC. The Q-point or dc working conditions are determined by dc
batteries along with resistors RE and RC. In other words, values of IE, IB and VCB are
decided by VCC,VEE, RE and RC. The voltage VCB is given by the equation VCB=
VCC ICRC.When no signal is applied to the input circuit, the output just sits at the Qpoint so that there is no output signal
Procedure:
1- Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram

Inference:
1. Input resistance is in the order of tens of ohms since emitter-base junction is forward
biased.
2. Output resistance is in order of hundreds of kilo-ohms since collector-base junction is
reverse biased.
3. Higher is the value of VCB, smaller is the cut in voltage.
4. Increase in the value of IB causes saturation of transistor at small voltages.
Result:
Transistor in Common Base Configuration are studied Check point by oscilloscope and
measure voltage and current gain ,measure power gain , input and output resistance
Comment :
There is an error rate measurements due to work quickly and because the tools used in the
lab are considered old.
