    Unit-3 Tuned Amplifiers

    Tuned amplifiers allow radio signals to be selectively amplified over a narrow band of frequencies. They use a tuned circuit consisting of an inductor and capacitor as the load instead of a resistor. This provides frequency selectivity. There are different types of tuned amplifiers like single tuned, double tuned, and stagger tuned that offer varying bandwidth and gain characteristics. The Q factor and stability of the tuned circuits are also important design considerations. Class C amplifiers are commonly used as tuned RF amplifiers in radio receivers due to their high efficiency.

    Tuned Circuits

     Frequency selectivity of resonant circuits allows a radio to be tuned to one of a set

    om
    of transmitting stations.
     Tuning is usually undertaken by varying the capacitance of an adjustable capacitor.
     Resonant circuits are also important for tuning and for transmitting signals.

    .c
    Tuned amplifiers
     To amplify the selective range of frequencies , the resistive load , Rc is replaced by

    es
    a tuned circuit.
     The tuned circuit is capable of amplifying a signal over a narrow band of
    frequencies centered at fr.

    Types Of tuned amplifiers
    Single tuned amplifier

    om
     one parallel tuned circuit is used as a load
     Limitation: Smaller Bandwidth , smaller gain bandwidth product, does not

    .c
    provide flatten response.

    Double tuned amplifier

    es
     It provides high gain, high selectivity and required bandwidth.
     Used in IF in radio and TV receivers.
     It gives greater 3db bandwidth having steep sides and flat top . But alignment of

    ot
    double tuned amplifier is difficult
    rn
    Stagger tuned amplifier
     Two single tuned amplifier are connected in cascaded form.
     Resonant frequency are displaced.
    ta

     To have better flat , wideband charcteristics with a very sharp rejective, narrow
    band characteristics.

    Synchronously tuned amplifier

    om
     To obtain a high over all gain , several identical stages of tuned amplifiers can be
    used in cascade.

    .c
     All amplifiers stages are assumed to be identical and to be tuned to the same
    frequency w0.
    Q factor:

    es
     Ratio of reactance to resistance.
     Measure of efficiency with which inductor can store the energy.

    ot
    Unloaded Q of tuned circuit
     Ratio of stored energy to dissipated energy in a reactor or resonator.
    rn
    Loaded Q
     It is determined by how tightly the resonator is coupled to its terminations.

    Instability of tuned circuits
     Transistor are used at the frequencies nearer to their unity gain BW to amplify
    narrow band of high frequencies.

    .c
     At this RF frequencies , inter capacitance between base and collector becomes
    dominant.

    es
     Some feedback signal manages to reach the input from output , so circuit
    becomes unstable and generating the oscillation and can stop working as
    amplifier.

    Class C amplifiers

     Class C amplifiers cannot be used in audio circuitry because of their high

    om
    distortion.
     Class C amplifiers can be used as tuned rf amplifiers where the undesired

    .c
    harmonic frequencies can be filtered out.
     A class C amplifier is more efficient than either a class A or class B amplifier; its
    efficiency approaches 100%.

    es
    The input coupling capacitor, base resistor,
    and base-emitter junction form a negative
    clamper.
    Because of the clamping action, only the ot
    rn
    positive peaks of the input signal drive the
    transistor, Q1, into conduction.
     The RBC time constant is made long with
    ta

    respect to the period of the input waveform


    to provide the proper clamping action.
