Requirement:
Task 1:
Design a Cascode amplifier stage using bipolar transistors to drive a load resistance of
100 Ω. The amplifier output is to be a time varying signal of +/-600mV. The overall
performance of the amplifier is specified as:
Task 2:
Modify the Cascode amplifier to a Tuned Amplifier, with a frequency of 470 KHz
and a Band width of 20 KHz.
Description of Cascode:
The basic Cascode amplifier consists of a Common-Emitter (CE) configuration, with
a extra transistor connected between collector on transistor 1 and collector resistor
(RC) and there are insert a extra resistor in the basis network. See the diagram in
figure 1.

The gain is measurement to 554mVpp, but this circuit have no load and then well pull
the signal to a lower one, so this gain is okay. Before the buffer circuit is added.

This circuit is the same as Cascode amplifier, but they are adding an oscillatory. To
make a frequency on 470 KHz, with a bandwidth on 20 KHz. See the graph on next
page for this circuit.
This graph view the frequency characterize for the Tuned amplifier, with a bandwidth
on 20 KHz and a frequency on 467.5 KHz, because the component is chosen to non
ideal components from the E12 series.
