Hello fellows, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at Analyze Multistage Amplifiers Frequency Response. In previous tutorials about low frequency response, high-frequency response, and total frequency response  amplifier we discussed that the voltage gain of a single-stage amplifier varies with the variation in frequency.

If 2 or more than two stages are joined to make a multistage amplifier the overall response of frequency is found by the frequency response of every stage according to the relation of critical frequency values. In today’s post, we will have a detailed look at frequency response of the multistage amplifier and related parameters. So let’s get started with Analyze multistage amplifiers frequency response.

Analyze Multistage Amplifiers Frequency Response

• When amplifier stages are linked to make multistage amplifier the dominant frequency response is found with the response of a single stage.

• There are two conditions to take into consideration.
  • There is a different value of lower and upper critical frequency for every stage.
  • Every stage has the dominant same value of lower and upper critical frequency values.

Different Critical Frequency Value

• In ideal case when the dominant lower critical frequency fcl(dom) value of every amplifier stage is not similar to the lower critical frequency and equals to the dominant critical frequency of the stage with the highest fcl(dom).
• In ideal condition when the dominant upper critical frequency fcu(dom), of every amplifier stage is not similar to the other stages the overall dominant upper critical frequency is equal to the critical frequency, and dominant critical frequency off stage is equal to the lowest fcu(dom).

• In practical the critical frequency interacts with each other therefore these measured values must be taken into consideration that is beneficial to troubleshoot the response.
• When the highest correctness is needed a computer simulation is a good option.

Overall Bandwidth

• The bandwidth of the multistage amplifier is difference among the overall dominant lower critical frequency and overall higer critical frequency values.

BW = f’ cu(dom) – f’cl(dom)

Equal Critical Frequency Values

• If every amplifier stage in a multistage configuration has an equal dominant critical frequency you can note that overall dominant critical frequency is equal to the critical frequency of every stage.
• When each amplifier stage in a multistage arrangement has equal dominant critical frequencies, you may think that the overall dominant critical frequency is equal to the critical frequency of each stage.
• However, when the dominant lower critical frequency values of each multistage amplifier have the same value the overall dominant lower critical frequency rises with the factor 1/√(2^1/n-1) shown by this given below formula.

f’ cl(dom)= fcl(dom)/√(2^1/n-1)

• when the dominant upper critical frequency values of every stage is similar the overall dominant frequency is decreased with the factor of √(2^1/n-1)

f’cu(dom)= fcu(dom). √(2^1/n-1)

Computer Simulation for Multistage Amplifiers

• For a multistage amplifier, the complete calculations of frequency response can be made simple through the computer simulation.
• There is numerous collaboration in every stage and other collaboration among the stages which affect the overall frequency response.
• For greater correctness used computer simulation.
