3. DEFINITION:-
An amplifier circuit in which the load circuit is a
tank circuit such that it can be tuned to pass or amplify
selection of a desired frequency or a narrow band of
frequencies, is known as Tuned Circuit Amplifier.

4. CHARACTERISTICSOFTUNEDAMPLIFIER
Tuned amplifier selects and amplifies a single frequency
from a mixture of frequencies in any frequency range.
A Tuned amplifier employs a tuned circuit.
It uses the phenomena of resonance, the tank circuit which
is capable of selecting a particular or relative narrow band
of frequencies.
The centre of this frequency band is the resonant frequency
of the tuned circuit .
Both types consist of an inductance L and capacitance C
with two element connected in series and parallel.

5. RESONANCECIRCUITS:
•When at particular frequency the inductive reactance
became equal to capacitive reactance and the circuit then
behaves as purely resistive circuit. This phenomenon is
called the resonance and the corresponding frequency is
called the resonant frequency.

9. CLASSIFICATIONOFTUNED
AMPLIFIERS
Small Signal Tuned Amplifiers :- They are used to amplify
the RF signals of small magnitude.
They are further classified as:
(a)Single Tuned Amplifiers:- In this we use one
parallel tuned circuit in each stage.
(b)Double Tuned Amplifiers:- In this we use two
mutually coupled tuned circuits for every stage both of
tuned circuits are tuned at same freq.
(c)Stagger Tuned Amplifiers:- It is a multistage amplifier
which has one parallel tuned circuit for every stage but
tuned frequency for all stages

10. (2) Large signal tuned amplifiers:-
They are meant for amplifying large signals in which
large RF power is involved & distortion level is also
higher. But tuned circuit itself eliminates most of the
harmonic distortion.

reactive components are in series.

13. SERIESRESONANTCIRCUIT:
Impedance Of The Circuit: - Z = { R2 + (XL – Xc)2}1/2
Z = { R2 + (ωL – 1/ ωC)2}1/2
For resonant frequency:-
(XL = XC )
XL = ωL =
XC = 1/ ωC =
2 π frL
1 / 2 π frC

14. SERIESRESONANTCIRCUIT
Since at resonance,
XL = Xc
2 π frL = 1 / 2ПfrC
fr = 1 / 2 π √LC ωr
fr = 1 / √LC

16. QUALITYFACTOR:
• It is voltage magnification that circuit produces at
resonance is called the Q factor.
Imax XL
/ Imin R• Voltage Magnification =
= XL/ R
• At Resonance =
XL/R = XC/R
ωrL / R = 1 /
ωrRC

17. THUS
Qr = ωrL / R = 1/ ωrC R
= 2 π fr L / R
= (2 π L / R) * (1 / 2 π √LC )
= √(L/C) / R

18. IMPORTANTPOINTS
(1) Net reactance , X = 0.
(2) Impedance Z = R .
(3) Power factor is unity.
(4) Power expended = 6 watt.
•
•
Current is so large & will produce large voltage
across inductance & capacitance will be equal in
magnitude but opposite in phase.
Series resonance is called an acceptor circuit
because such a circuit accepts current at one
particular frequency but rejects current at other
frequencies these circuit are used in Radio –
receivers .

21. PARALLELORCURRENTRESONANCE
•When an inductive reactance and a capacitance are connected in
parallel condition may reach under which current resonance (also
known as parallel or anti- resonance ) will take palace.
•The frequency at which this happened is known as resonant
frequency. Current will be in resonance I reactive component of R -
L branch.
•IR-L sinФ R-L = Reactive component of capacitive branch,
neglecting leakage reactance of capacitor C.

32. LIMITATION:
• This tuned amplifier are required to be highly selective.
But high selectivity required a tuned circuit with a high Q-
factor .
• A high Q- factor circuit will give a high Av but at the
same time , it will give much reduced band with because
bandwidth is inversely proportional to the Q- factor .
• It means that tuned amplifier with reduce bandwidth may
not be able to amplify equally the complete band of
signals & result is poor reproduction . This is called
potential instability in tuned amplifier.

56. APPLICATIONS OF TUNED AMPLIFIER
Tuned amplifiers serve the best for two purposes:
a) Selection of desired frequency.
b) Amplifying the signal to a desired level.
USED IN:
Communication transmitters and receivers.
In filter design :--Band Pass, low pass, High pass and
band reject filter design.
K V VENKATA RAMANA‖ ECA ‖ Dept of ECE ‖ ISTS

57. ADVANTAGES
It provides high selectivity.
It has small collector voltage.
Power loss is also less.
Signal to noise ratio of O/P is good.
They are well suited for radio transmitters and
receivers .
K V VENKATA RAMANA‖ ECA ‖ Dept of ECE ‖ ISTS

58. DISADVANTAGES
They are not suitable to amplify audio
frequencies.
If the band of frequency is increase then design
becomes complex.
Since they use inductors and capacitors as tuning
elements, the circuit is bulky and costly.
