The design, construction, and testing of a tuned VHF amplifier

Abstract

This thesis deals with the design and construction of a tuned VHF amplifier. The main requirements are that optimum transducer gain must be attempted with a bandwidth of 6 MHz. Theoretical considerations such as stability, determination of optimum terminations and matching networks will be considered. The design will be carried out using a Fairchild 2N4122 bipolar transistor operating on channel 2 into a 50 olim coaxial system. We shall try to include enough qualitative discussion with a minimum of theory so that a reader with only an elementary background in electronics will be able to apply the concepts to a design of his own
