We can see from figure 3a) that the non-ideal voltage source in figure 1 (voltage source E in
series with resistor Rs ) works as an almost ideal voltage source, when Rs << RL . In this case
the value of the source resistor Rs does not affect the load voltage. When Rs = RL , the load
voltage is half of the voltage from the non-ideal voltage source. When Rs >> RL , the load
voltage VL ≈ REs · RL and the load current IL ≈ REs ≈ current source J = REs .
We can see from figure 3c) that the non-ideal current source in figure 2 works as an ideal current
source when Rs >> RL . In this case the value of the source resistance Rs does not affect the
load current, almost all of the current will go trough the load resistor RL . When Rs = RL , the
current from the source is the same for both resistors and half of the current J. When Rs << RL ,
almost all of the current will flow trough the source resistance Rs and the voltage over the load
is ≈ J · Rs , which represents a good voltage source.

Now we can draw a picture of the load power as a function of the load resistor. The figure 4
presents the load power we can get, when the load resistor changes between Rs /100 and 100Rs .
We can see, that the load power will approach zero when the load resistance is either very large
or very small compared to the source resistance. The load power seems to gain its maximum
when the load resistance is as large as the source resistance.

Figure 4: The power consumed in the load.
To confirm the result, we can calculate the derivative of the load power and set it to be zero.
The load power can also be written as
2
PL = RL · (RL + Rs )−2 · Erms
.
(27)
In calculating the derivative, the following rules may be applied:
D(f · g) = f · Dg + g · Df,
(28)
Df n = n · f n−1 · Df
(29)
In equation 28 f and g are function depending on the same variable. When applying the derivative rule to the load power equation we can see that
f = RL
(30)

and
g = (RL + Rs )−2 .
(31)
The derivative of f is
Df =

Based on the picture drawn and the calculation above, the maximum power is gained when
Rs = RL .
2. a) Modify the current amplifier circuit of Fig. 5 to equivalent voltage amplifier, transconductance amplifier and transresistance amplifier circuits.
b) What is the open-circuit voltage gain Avo , short-circuit transconductance Gm and open-circuit
transresistance Rm of the amplifier, if the current gain β = 100, Rin = 1kΩ, Rout = 100Ω,

6b) is the transconductance amplifier, where the current source is controlled by voltage. In the
figure 6c) is the transresistance amplifier, where the voltage source is controlled by current.
b) Let’s calculate the open circuit voltage gain with the help of the figures 5 and 6a).
The open-circuit voltage gain has the be the same for both of the circuits (open-circuit, when

The transresistance can be calculated with the help of figures 5 and 6c). Both of the circuits
have to have the same open-circuit output voltage:
βiin Rout = Rm iin
(54)
Rm = βRout = 10000Ω

4. Signal source has a source resistance Rs of 0.5M Ω and its voltage amplitude without a load
is 30mVrms . Signal needs to be amplified so that we’ll get at least 0.5W to the load RL (100Ω).
There are three different voltage amplifier stages in use (fig 7)
1. Rin = 1M Ω, Avo = 10, Ro = 10kΩ
2. Rin = 10kΩ, Avo = 100, Ro = 1kΩ
3. Rin = 10kΩ, Avo = 1, Ro = 20Ω
a) Draw a circuit where signal source is connected to the amplifier which is driving a load
resistor. Replace the common voltage amplifier symbol in figure 7 with the voltage amplifier
circuit model.
b) Calculate the rms-amplitude appearing at the inputs of the amplifiers when different amplifiers 1-3 are connected to the signal source.
c) Use the given amplifiers to design an amplifier, which will drive at least a 0.5W power PL to
the load RL .

c) Let’s first calculate the needed output voltage Vo , when RL = 100Ω and PL = 0.5W .

The load power PL = RVoL , where we can get the output voltage Vo =
So, the needed voltage gain is Av = VVos = 235.7
√
PL · RL ≈ 7.07Vrms .
Clearly we need at least the first and second amplifier stages or the voltage will not be enough.

Vs = 10Vrms
Rin2 + Ro1

Vo = V2 = Av2 Vin2 = Av2
(73)
(74)
Because this will drive a load, the voltage will be dropped severely, so it will not be able to
drive the needed power to the load. So we will need also the third stage.
