Unipolar transistors measurement 1. Important notice for students: Transistor s circuits works with frequency till hundredths MHz. For these frequency the interconnecting wires creates significant unwanted inductive and capacitive bindings, which cause oscillation of circuits. Oscillations are near limit values of V and I and disallow measurement of static characteristic, setting working points of amplifiers etc. Better, than using any RC filters is using suitable wiring. Solution is to prevent the rise of inductive loops. There exists simple rule. Each current have to return along the same way where to go there. This can be simply realised, when we twist connecting leads to measurement devices as A-meters V-meter. Powering of measuring kit uses flat double wire cable and scope probes uses coaxial cable connection. Better, than twisted pair wires, is coaxial cable, worse is flat double cable. Free non-arranged connection, realised according scheme, without its understanding is in communication, digital and power converter electronic functional nonsense. You should ensure that the area between free ends of connection leads must be minimal. Right example of connection of kit with transistor measurement is on following figure. 2. Important notice for students and teachers: Please, don t forget switch off multi-meters after measurement battery cells are expensive.
