Advantages, disadvantages and applications of single stage RC coupled CE amplifier

Advantages:

• It has wide frequency response and large bandwidth.
• It is most convenient and least expensive amplifier.
• It provides high audio fidelity.
• It has low amplitude distortion.
• It provides low frequency distortion.

Disadvantages:

• It has a tendency to become noisy with age especially in moist climate.
• The voltage gain reduces at low as well as high frequencies.
• It provides poor impedance matching and hence it cannot be used as a final stage of an amplifier.

Applications:

• It is used in the initial stages of public address (PA) amplifier systems.
• It is used in stereo amplifier.
• It is widely used as a voltages amplifier.
• It is used in tape recorder, CD players, VCRs, DVD players, etc.
• It is used in radio and television receivers.
