CONCLUSION
Hand calculated results of DC points are a little bit different than the reults calculated
by Pspice. This might be because of β value of the transistor or because of the approximations
that i made to make calculations easier.
There is a phase difference between input and output signals. This phase difference is
almost 180 degrees because of coupling capacitor between input and base. If there was
another coupling capacitor between collector and ouput, there would be no phase difference
since there are two capacitors while going from input to output. (In this situation, each
capacitor causes 180 degrees of phase difference and actually 360 degrees of phase difference
occurs since there are two capacitors which means there is no difference in phase between
input and ouput signals.) The phase difference is not exactly 180 degrees as seen in the figure.
That might be because of the internal capacitance of the transistor. (Capacitance between base
and collector, because input to output path goes through base and collector of transistor.)
The gain of the amplifier is about 40 (1V/0.025V). The type of the amplifier is
common-emitter since input is base and ouput is collector. Common-emitter amplifier has a
high gain that is why the gain in this circuit is very high. Also offset voltage of the ouput has
a value different than zero because there exists a DC voltage of collector and there is no
capacitor between collector and output
In the frequency response of output signal, there are two pole and one zero frequencies.
One pole cut-off frequency is caused by the coupling capacitor connected to the base of the
transistor. One pole and one zero cut-off frequencies are caused by emitter by-pass capacitor
connected to the emitter of the transistor. Low cut-off frequency is almost 4.3kHz and high
cut-off frequency is almost 160kHz. (I took a very close look to the gain in dB graph:3 dB
below frequencies. Close looks to the gain in dB graph are given on the upcoming page.)
