Introduction:

For an oscillating or varying Current, frequency is the number of complete cycles per second in alternating
current direction. The standard unit of frequency is the hertz, abbreviated Hz. The period is the duration of time of
one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. Frequency is a sinusoidal that is
mostly used in time basis for a circuit.

Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous set of frequencies. It
is typically measured in hertz, and may sometimes refer to passband bandwidth, sometimes to baseband bandwidth,
depending on context.

Objectives:

 To measure the bandwidth of a transistor circuit.

 To draw the frequency and phase plot of a transistor amplifier circuit.

Materials:

Transistors:
 2N3904 (BJT NPN)

Capacitors:
 1 nF Ceramic Capacitor

Resistors:
 1 MΩ  0.68 kΩ
 2.7 kΩ  10 kΩ
 2.2 kΩ  1 kΩ
 3.3 kΩ  5 kΩ
 6.8 kΩ  10 kΩ
 220 Ω  500 Ω
 330 Ω  1.8 kΩ

 Breadboard
 Connecting wires
 Function Generator
 Oscilloscope
 DC supply
 DMM
Procedures:

1. Construct the circuits in Lab Experiment 1 in a prototyping board.

2. Connect a ceramic capacitor as a coupler.

3. Using a function generator, apply a 10 Hz sinusoidal input to the amplifier constructed.

4. Measure the input and output of the amplifier using an oscilloscope.

 5. Solve for the voltage gain.

6. Solve for the phase shift.

where:
∆𝑡 − 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦
𝑇 − 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑
7. Repeat steps 3-5 changing the frequency of the input by 1 decade.
8. Tabulate and plot the results.

Results:

Fixed Bias

Emitter Bias
 Voltage Divider

Conclusion

We therefore conclude that the bandwidth of a circuit design varies with respect to the biased and
configurations used. It is observed that through altering the frequency, one can find the midband region. At the
midband region, the highest frequency determined if further increased would result to attenuation of the signal or in
other words, amplification factor would gradually decrease.
