In the cascade amplifier circuit shown below, determine the values of R₁, R₂ and R_L. Such that the quiescent current through the transistors is 1mA and the collector voltage V_c1 = 3V, and V_c2 = 6V. Tke V_BE = 0.7V, Transistor $$\beta $$ to be hifgh and base currents to be negligible.

An Amplifier a has 6 dB gain and 50 $$\Omega $$ input and output impedances. The noise figure of this Amplifier as shown in the figure is 3 dB. A cascade of two such Amplifiers as in the figure will have a noise figure of

Negative feedback in

1. Voltage series configuration
2.Current shunt configuration

(a) increases input impedance
(b) decreases input impedance
(c) increases closed loop gain
(d) leads to ascillation.

An IC 555 chip has been used to construct a pulse generator. Typical pin connections with components is shown below in fig. for such application. However it is desired to generate a square pulse of 10KHz.. Evaluate values of $${R_{A\,}}$$ and $${R_{B\,}}$$ and if the capacitor has the value of 0.01$$\mu $$F for the configuration closed. If necessary you can suggest modifications in the external circuit configuration.
