Characteristics of CE Amplifier
In this setup, IB stands for input current, also known as base current, while IE stands for output current, also known as emitter current. Low output impedance and high input impedance characterize the common collector amplifier. Its current gain is large and its voltage gain is minimal. The typical collector amplifier has a medium power gain.
Transistor As An Amplifier
Although transistors can be used for many other things, amplification is the main application for them. The PN junctions of the transistor must be appropriately biased by external voltages for the transistor to function as an amplifier. The transistor operates in three distinct modes: Active, Saturation, and Cutoff, depending on the external bias voltage polarities that are applied. An amplifier is only functional in the active mode of the transistor. Transistors can be employed as amplifiers in addition to switches.
A three-layer semiconductor device with amplifier capabilities is called a transistor. The transistor can regulate a greater signal flow between the collector and emitter by applying a small signal to the base. This makes transistors valuable in electronic circuits as amplifiers for music, radio signals, and more. The development of modern technology has been significantly influenced by the transistor’s capacity to amplify signals. In essence, transistors are amplifiers used for amplification. “Amplification” is the process of increasing a weak signal’s amplitude without altering its frequency or form. ‘Transistor biasing’ is the process of accomplishing this by having the transistor’s input circuit remain forward-biased and its output circuit remains reverse-biased throughout the whole signal. The weak signal is received by the transistor’s base, and an amplified output is produced by the collector circuit. The signal must only increase in strength and not change in shape for amplification to occur.
