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.
