Question

GIVE ME THE SKETCH AND HAND MATH FOR THE CIRCUIT I'LL GIVE A LIFESAVER RATING!

The objective of this project is to design a discrete common-emitter amplifier, test it in the laboratory, and verify the experimental results with the analytical results using PSpice/OrCad. The common-emitter amplifier is to have the following specifications: Single-ended input and output. AV = 20 in the midband. 3-dB bandwidth extending from 10 Hz to at least 100 kHz for AV RL = 500 k ohm. Available single power-supply voltage of +9 V. Circuit suitable for discrete implementation. Peak-to-peak output to the load of at least 4 V without severe distortion and clipping. Assume that a transistor having the same model as the 2N2222A is available. Design, build and test your amplifier. Use PSpice to verify your design and to obtain plots for the input and output, [Make sure you label your plots and give figure captions.] Does your design meet the desired specifications for all combinations of component values including transistor parameters? Use Monte Carlo analysis to gain a feeling for the effects of component tolerance on circuit behavior. Show ALL your work and please be NEAT.

Explanation / Answer

Coming from a person who would love to see his future child become a scientist (it's a bit early though seeing I'm 21), I can tell you that there's nothing you can do. All parents have expectations. Some of them are silent in that, others are simply pointing the way and let the child choose, while others -like your mother- impose their will on their children the hard way. It's not uncommon for a parent to project their failures on their children and ask them to become what they couldn't. And this is what it sounds: plain wrong. Seeing that, don't even dare blame yourself for that. The fact that you'd rather stick your hand in the garbage than write for vegetables shows that your body is simply fighting against what it doesn't like. You were obviously born an artist, and trying to ignore your strengths to become something else is pointless. Please, solidify that in your mind; it's your mother that is wrong, not you. You should be free to express yourself however you please; for me, that means that I get more joy in designing an electronic circuit and seeing it work than I get by painting, but this is just me. For you, art makes your clock tick, and art should be what you put time on! That's not to say that expanding your horizons is bad: I thought that I was so bad at drawing, that I completely disregarded myself as someone who couldn't draw and whose tree sketches looked more like male parts that actual trees. One calm night, I decided to give it a try and now I've got a couple of anime faces lying around. For me, it became a way of relaxing and now the mere though of sketching at night makes all stress go away. So, never say never! As for artists being society failure, duh, I thought we were past that. Most people (especially overachieving parents!) make a stereotypical connection to artists as a broke painter who sits around in a studio, painting stuff all day and producing no useful work. They think as doctors or lawyers as the ideal professions, because they make so much money. Come on, we are in the 21st century already! There are many places where an artist can be employed with pay ranging from a few hundred dollars (the same a lab technician with a BS in Physics gets; so much for the science fair ribbons) to money enough to afford you your own house and luxury car. Many artists train to become parts of the entertainment industry (special effects, posters, video game artists etc.). You see, there is no failure in that. You are also doing great in school. I agree that you should be focused to that, as boring as it is, so that you have a broad range of options after you graduate. At school, I hated History; I found it so boring and morbidly indifferent, that I was seriously concidering general anesthesia during lessons. I put out with it though and now I'm studying my dream subject. But when opportunity arises to express yourself like in that paper, you should express YOURSELF, not your MOTHER. That is, write about art! Since the problem still exists, you have to deal with your mother. I'm sure she loves you, but she isn't treating you right and believe me, she might not understand it. What is your relationship with your father? I am going to deduce (those Batman skills) that your parents are either divorced or he is working abroad. If he is a bit more understanding, try explaining the whole situation to him. If not, you have to bite the bullet and be up front with your mother. DON'T just rebel against her; be reasonable. Explain to her that she is pressing you too much and that you can't just be what you aren't. If she fails to see reason, the last option would be to consult a school counselor or a teacher you trust. Explain to them the whole situation and don't be afraid about your mother going mad at you. It's their job and they know how to handle it. But please, don't take any more of this because it's going to destroy your dreams. And without dreams, it's your own self that will point at you and tell you you are a disappointment. I have to give you that. Just by the way you wrote this, I feel like we would click so much as friends. You sound like a very mature and nice girl, different from all those masses. Never lose that!
