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

Advantages:

There are some advantages of single stage RC coupled CE amplifier which are given below.

• The single stage RC coupled CE amplifier is most convenient and least expensive amplifier.
• It provides high audio fidelity.
• It has low amplitude distortion.
• It provides low frequency distortion.
• It has wide frequency response and large bandwidth.

Disadvantages:

There are some disadvantages of single stage RC coupled CE amplifier which are given below.

• 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.
• It has a tendency to become noisy with age especially in moist climate.
