Capacitor 0.01µF 1

CRO 20 MHz 1

Function Generator 1MHz 1

Theory:

The process whereby the form of a non sinusoidal signal is altered by transmission

through a linear network is called “linear wave shaping”. An ideal low pass circuit is one

that allows all the input frequencies below a frequency called cutoff frequency fc and

attenuates all those above this frequency. For practical low pass circuit cutoff is set to

occur at a frequency where the gain of the circuit falls by 3 dB from its maximum at very

high frequencies the capacitive reactance is very small, so the output is almost equal to

the input and hence the gain is equal to 1. Since circuit attenuates low frequency

signals and allows high frequency signals with little or no attenuation, it is called a high

pass circuit.

Theory:

above or below certain levels as per the requirements. Thus the circuits which are used to

clip off unwanted portion of the waveform, without distorting the remaining part of the

waveform are called clipper circuits or Clippers. The half wave rectifier is the best and

simplest type of clipper circuit which clips off the positive/negative portion of the input

signal. The clipper circuits are also called limiters or slicers.

Specifications

Quantity

Transistor BC 107 1

Resistor 6.8 kΩ 1 2.2kΩ 1

Capacitor 0.1µF 1 CRO 20MHz 1

Function Generator 1MHz 1

Theory:

In the transistor the output characteristics having three different regions.

They are:

1. Cut-off region

2. Saturation region

3. Active region.

When the transistor is operating in Cut-off region, it remains cut-off i.e. no

current flows in the load circuit. The transistor thus behaves like an open switch. It can

be shown that both emitter-base junction and collector-base junction are reverse

biased and no conduction occurs.

When the transistor is operating in Saturation region, it conducts heavily,

just like a closed switch. Both emitter-base junction and collector-base junction remain

Forward-biased and the device almost behaves like a Short-circuit.

The region between cut-off region and Saturation region is termed as Active region.

When the transistor is operating in this region, the emitter-base junction remains

forward-biased and the collector-base junction remains Reverse-biased.

7. Sampling Gates

Aim: To Study the operation of sampling gates using method of four diode gate

Components Required:

1) Sampling gate trainer.

2) Function generator.

3) CRO and CRO probe.

4) Digital multimeter.

Theory:

A Sampling Gate is basically a transmission circuit which allows an input signal

to pass through it during a selected interval; and blocks its passage outside the time

interval. The input signal does not suffer any distortion or attenuation during transmission,

with the result that the output waveform is an exact replica of the input signal waveform.

Hence the output of a sampling gate is an exact reproduction of the input signal during

the selected interval, and is zero otherwise.

The interval of the time is selected by means of an external signal termed as

Gating Signal. The gating signal is generally a rectangular pulse of the required polarity.

Monostable multivibrator: A monostable multivibrator on the other hand

compared to Astable, bistable has only one stable state, the other state being quasi

stable state. Normally the multivibrator is in stable state and when an externally

triggering pulse is applied, it switches from the stable to the quasi stable state. It

remains in the quasi stable state for a short duration, but automatically reverse

switches back to its original stable state without any triggering pulse. The monostable

multivibrator is also referred as ‘one shot’ or ‘uni vibrator’ since only one triggering

signal is required to reverse the original stable state. The duration of quasi stable state

is termed as delay time (or) pulse width (or) gate time. It is denoted as‘t’.

Schmitt trigger:

Schmitt trigger is a Bistable circuit and the existence of only two stable states

results form the fact that positive feedback is incorporated into the circuit and from

the further fact that the loop gain of the circuit is greater than unity. There are

several ways to adjust the loop gain. One way of adjusting the loop gain is by

varying Rc1. Under quiescent conditions Q1 is OFF and Q2 is ON because it gets

the required base drive from Vcc through Rc1 and R1. So the output voltage is

Vo=Vcc-Ic2Rc2 is at its lower level. Until then the output remains at its lower level.

12. UJT Relaxation Oscillator Aim: To Generate a Saw-tooth wave form using UJT relaxation oscillator

Components Required: 1) UJT relaxation Oscillator trainer kit

2) CRO and CRO probe.

3) Resistor 150K, 100K, 47K.

4) Capacitor C=0.1 µF.

5) UJT=2N2646

Theory:

The UJT has two dropped regions with three external loads. It has one emitter

and two Bases. The emitter is heavily doped having many holes. The n-region is lightly

doped. For this reason, the resistance between the bases is relatively high. Typically

between 5 KΏ to 10 KΏ when the emitter is open. This is called Interbase resistance Rbb.

When the supply voltage Vbb is initially applied to the circuit, UJT is off because

Capacitor will begin from 0v and no emitter current consequently. Capacitor will be

charged towards Vbb through resistor R.

- 42 - Expected Waveforms:

Procedure:

1) Switch ON the trainer and measure the output voltages of the regulated power

supply i.e. +12V.

2) Connect one of the resistors to the emitter of the UJT.

3) Observe waveforms across the capacitor 0.1/250 V i.e. Ve and at Veb1 i.e. across

33 ohms resistor.

4) Measure the time period of the output signal.

5) Calculate the theoretical time period using T=RC ln 1/ (1-h) where h lies between

0.51 and 0.81.

6) Compare the measured time period with theoretical values.

7) Repeat step4 to step 6 for different values of R.

Input and Output Waveforms:

Procedure: 1) As the circuit is already wired you just have to trace the circuit according to the

circuit diagram as shown.

2) Connect trainer to the Mains and switch ON the power supply.

3) Measure the output voltage of regulated power supply circuit i.e. +5V & -5V.

Note: supplies are connected internally to the circuit so no external connection is

required.

4) Observe the output of square wave oscillator using oscilloscope and note that the

output voltage is approximately 2Vp-p and frequency is 600HZ to 20Hz.

4) Connect the output of the square wave oscillator to the input of bootstrap

Sweep circuit and observe the output waveform on Oscilloscope.

5) By varying input signal frequency observe both input and corresponding output

wave form using Oscilloscope.

6) Plot the graph for input and output waveform at different input frequencies.

7) For example: we are playing giving and input output wave form of 1KHZ & 8KHZ

input frequency.
