    TO STUDY THE LARGE AND SMALL SIGNAL OPERATION OF BJT
    COMMON COLLECTOR AMPLIFIER.
    ________________________________________________________________________

    OBJECTIVE:
    The objective is to measure the dc and ac voltages in emitter follower (common-collector)
    amplifier and also to measure the values of amplification.

    EQUIPMENT:
    Instruments:
    Oscilloscope
    DMM
    Function Generator
    Components:
    Resistors: 1 kΩ, 12 kΩ, 33 kΩ, 100 kΩ
    Capacitors: 10 μf (2)
    Transistor: 2N3904 or equivalent

    The main purpose of the common-collector (CC) or emitter follower (EF) amplifier is to
    connect a source having a large resistance Rs to a load with a relatively low resistance. It
    provides nearly unity voltage gain, high input and low output resistance.

    THEORY:
    VOLTAGE GAIN:

    Generally, the voltage gain of a common – collector (also known as emitter follower) is given by
    the following formula:-

    AV = Re / (r’e + Re)

    Here Re is the parallel combination of the RE and RL. Notice from the above formula that the
    gain of the CC amplifier is always less that unity and if Re >> r’e then a good approximation
    will be the AV =1.

    INPUT RESISTANCE:

    The input resistance Rin(base) is given by the formula

    Rin(base) ≈ βac (r’e + Re)


    If Re >> r’e then,
    Rin(base) ≈ βac Re

    The bias resistors R1 and R2 appear in parallel with the Rin(base) when looking from the input
    source and just as in the CE case, the total input resistance is

    Rin(tot) ≈ Rin(base) ║ R1 ║ R2

    OUTPUT RESISTANCE:

    With the load removed, the output resistance, looking into the emitter of the CC amplifier is
    approximated as follows

    Rout ≈ (Rs / βac) ║ RE


    Here Rs is the resistance of the input source.

    CURRENT GAIN:

    Ai = Ie/ Iin

    POWER GAIN:

    The Power gain of an amplifier is the product of the voltage gain and the current gain. Since in
    the case of common – collector Amplifier, the voltage gain is approximately 1 therefore the
    power gain is equal to the current gain.
