Tuned Amplifiers : ch:12, Sedra

The document discusses the basic principles of tuned amplifiers. It describes how tuned amplifiers selectively amplify a narrow range of frequencies and reject others. Key points include: - Tuned amplifiers have a center frequency where gain is maximum, and a bandwidth where gain is above half the maximum. - They are used in radio receivers to select desired channels and reject adjacent channels. The intermediate frequency stage provides most of the selectivity. - A single-tuned amplifier can be made with a MOSFET and tuned-circuit load, forming a second-order bandpass filter. Its gain peaks at the resonant frequency. - Component losses like inductor resistance reduce Q factor and need to be accounted for

Tuned Amplifiers (ch:12, Sedra)

Basic principle Inductor loss Use of transformers Synchronous tuning

Basic principle
Amplify a certain range of frequencies and reject others Narrow band or bandpass amplifier

Frequency response of a tuned amplifier.

Basic principle
Center frequency: 0 3dB bandwidth: B Skirt selectivity:
30dB BW 3dB BW =S/B

Q factor: 0 / B

Basic principle
Radio-frequency (RF) and intermediate frequency (IF) sections of communications receivers .

Basic principle
1st stage is tuned RF amplifier: it gives some selectivity to choose one station from many in band IF stage provides most of the frequency slectivity High adjacent channel selectivity Note obtaining this selectivity at IF is much easier because circuits remain fixed-tuned at IF & do not vary as different channels (stations) are selected Tuned IF amplifiers (multistage) fixed tuned & provided with sufficient to reject adjacent channels.

Single-tuned amplifier
Use a parallel LCR resonator at load or input of a BJT or FET amplifier. eg MOSFET amplifier with tuned circuit load.

The basic principle of tuned amplifiers is illustrated using a MOSFET with a tuned-circuit load. Bias details are not shown.

Single-tuned amplifier
Effective resistance:
R = RL // r0 Output resistance of FET

Effective capacitance: C = C L // c0
Output capacitance of FET

Voltage gain:
V0 = g mVi sC + 1 / R + 1 / sL V0 gms = Vi C ( s 2 + s + 1 ) CR LC

Av =

2nd order bandpass function

Single-tuned amplifier
Effective resistance:
R = RL // r0 Output resistance of FET

Effective capacitance: C = C L // c0
Output capacitance of FET

Voltage gain:
V0 = g mVi sC + 1 / R + 1 / sL V0 gms = Vi C ( s 2 + s + 1 ) CR LC

Av =

2nd order bandpass function

Single-tuned amplifier
Write s as j
gm Av ( jw) = jwC + 1 / R + 1 / jwL gm = 1 / R + j ( wC 1 / wL )

|A(jw)| is maximum & the gain peaks when


1 w0C = w0 = 1 / LC w0 L

Center frequency of tuned amplifier (peak gain) is at 0. Center frequency gain: -gmR.

Single-tuned amplifier
Tuned amplifier bandwidth
Upper cut-off frequency Lower cut-off frequency Bandwidth and Q factor:
B= 1 RC
wH = 1 2 + w0 + 1 2 2 4R C 2 RC

wL =

1 2 + w0 + 1 2 2 4R C 2 RC

Q = w0 RC

B = w0 / Q

Substitution:
Av = gm R 1 + jQ( w / w0 w0 / w)

Inductor loss
The Q factor of component: a number which indicates how much of a problem the series resistance of a component is compared to the pure reactance.

Q = XL /R Q = XC / R

Q0 = 0 L / rs
Typical: 50~`100

Inductor loss
Admittance of circuit (a)
Y ( j 0 ) = 1 1 1 1 1 + j (1 / Q0 ) = = rs + j0 L j0 L 1 j (1 / Q0 ) j0 L 1 + (1 / Q0 ) 2 1 j 0 L

(1 + j (1 / Q0 ))

for Q0 >> 1

Equating to the admittance of circuit (b)


Lp = L
