(c) none of the three above

10. Barkhausen criterion for sustained oscillation as:

(b) Aβ = 0
(c) Aβ = l
(d) A = 1/√β

Answers

1. (b)
Vo = Ad x Vid
= 105 x (1)
= 105 V
 
2. (b) Voltage regulation = (No load voltage – Full load voltage)/Full load voltage
VR = (100 - 80)/80 = 25%

3. An 8-bit ADC, for example, will require 256 comparators (2⁸ = 256).

4. (a)
Pt = Pc[1 + (μ2/2)]
Pc = Carrier Power
μ = Modulation index
 
5. (c) 
CMRR = 20log(Ad/Ac)
= 20log(Ad) - 20log(Ac)
= 48 - 2 = 46 dB
where  
Ad = differential voltage gain
Ac = common mode voltage gain
 
6.  (c) 
Non-inverting amplifier voltage gain = 20 dB
20 dB = 20 log10(Av)
Av = 10
gain × bandwidth = 1 MHz
∴ Bandwidth = 1 MHz/10
= 100 kHz
 
7.  (d) 
CE – CB → Cascode connection

CE– CC → Cascade connection

CC – CC → Darlington pair

Where, 
CE = Common Emitter, 
CC = Common Collector, 
CB = Common Base
  • The voltage gain of the amplifier can be increased by using cascading connection of individual stages
  • The Cascode connection is used to obtain large output impedance
  • Darlington Connection is used to obtain high current gain.
  • In a cascade amplifier, the overall gain is equal to the product of gains of individual amplifiers.
  • In cascaded connection, overall gain increases. Hence, bandwidth decreases.
  • Decreasing in bandwidth results increase in lower cut off-frequency and decrease in upper cut-off frequency.
8. (a)

9. (c)

10. (c)
