• Starting with the amplitude = 0 V, gradually increase it until you just begin to see a signal on scope channel 2 appear at the output. For what range of amplitude values of W1 can we say that both BJT's are essentially off? Confirm this by observing the voltages of the current-sensing resistances R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>2</sub>. | • Starting with the amplitude = 0 V, gradually increase it until you just begin to see a signal on scope channel 2 appear at the output.

Using your scope input, measure Vout as well as the voltage across R<sub>3</sub> and R<sub>4</sub> for the following DC values of Vin: -5 V, -4 V, -3 V, ... 0 V, ... , +4 V, +5 V. Then, tabulate Vout and the current in R<sub>L</sub> as well as the collector currents of Q<sub>2</sub> and Q<sub>4</sub> and comment.

Measure the input impedance by inserting a 10K? resistor in series with the signal generator (between W1 and the bases of Q<sub>1</sub>and Q<sub>3</sub>) and connecting the channel 1 differential scope inputs, 1+ , 1- across the 10K? resistor. Capture the input current vs. the input voltage and calculate the input resistance from the slope of the curve. Justify your results based on the component values used in the circuit.
