Introduction to Frequency Response :-

Frequency response is the quantitative measure of output spectrum of a system or device in response to
a stimulus, and is used to characterize the dynamics of the system. It is a measure of magnitude and
phase of the output as a function of frequency, in comparison to the input. In simplest terms, if a sine wave
is injected into a system at a given frequency, a linear system will respond at that same frequency with a
certain magnitude and a certain phase angle relative to the input. Also for a linear system, doubling the
amplitude of the input will double the amplitude of the output. In addition, if the system is time-invariant,
then the frequency response also will not vary with time.

(b) Typical Amplifier Frequency Response :-

• Low Frequency (LF) Range – Here the low frequency equivalent circuit is used where the effect
of the input & output coupling capacitors (Cin & Cout) along with the bypass capacitor (Cs) must
be included for analysis. The stray (parasitic) & internal transistor capacitor capacitances are
treated as open circuits as their effects are negligible. The lower cut-off frequency (fL) is thus the
function of coupling capacitors (Cin & Cout) & bypass capacitor (CS).

• Mid-Frequency (MF) Range – Here the same low frequency equivalent circuit is used for small
signal (AC) analysis where both input & output coupling capacitors (Cin & Cout) with the bypass
capacitor (CS) being treated as short circuits. The stray (parasitic) & internal transistor capacitor
capacitances are treated as open circuits as their effects are negligible. In this range all calculations
for input & output resistance (Ri & Ro) with voltage gain (Av) are performed.

• High Frequency (HF) Range – Here high frequency equivalent circuit is used where the effect of
the input & output coupling capacitors (Cin & Cout) along with the bypass capacitor (CS) are treated
as short circuits. The stray (parasitic) & internal transistor capacitor capacitances are included in
the analysis which are represented by the device model. The higher cut-off frequency (fH) is thus
the function of all the device internal/stray/parasitic & wiring capacitances.

15. Conclusions
In summary, the experiment effectively ascertained the multistage common-source (CS) amplifier's frequency
response. In order to obtain insight into signal synchronisation, we evaluated the gain at 1 kHz and examined
the phase difference between the input and output waves. Gain changes throughout low, mid, and high
frequency ranges were displayed in the frequency response graph, emphasising the amplifier's performance
attributes. These discoveries are crucial for enhancing amplifier design and guaranteeing successful
implementation in practical electrical circuitry.
