I've built an amplifier using a 2N3906 PNP transistor, however, my output is smaller than my input.
I am inputting a 1volt a/c sin wave @ 1kHz and my output barely shows up on the oscilloscope.
Here is a picture of the circuit I am trying to build:
Vcc is 5V
C1, C2 are .001μF
Rb, Rc are 1kΩ
Am I doing something wrong? I've been looking at this for a week now, changing capacitors and resistor values and I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Please note, I don't need to use this circuit specifically ( I picked it from the book because it said it was simple), I just need to use a transistor to amplify a sin wave.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
