• The larger capacitors of a system will have an important impact on the response of a system in the low-frequency range and can be ignored for the high-frequency region. • The smaller capacitors of a system will have an important impact on the response of a system in the high-frequency range and can be ignored for the low-frequency region. • The effect of the capacitive elements in an amplifier are ignored for the mid-frequency range when important quantities such as the gain and impedance levels are determined.

In the low-frequency region of the single-stage BJT or FET amplifier, it is the RC combinations formed by the network capacitors CC , CE , and Cs and the network resistive parameters that determine the cutoff frequencies • Voltage-Divider Bias Config. J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
plot of the asymptotes and associated breakpoints is called a Bode plot of the magnitude versus frequency. • A change in frequency by a factor of two, equivalent to one octave, results in a 6-dB change in the ratio, as shown by the change in gain from fL /2 to fL . • For a 10:1 change in frequency, equivalent to one decade, there is a 20-dB change in the ratio, as demonstrated between the frequencies of fL /10 and fL . • Phase Angle: J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
voltage-divider ct. the capacitors Cs, CC , and CE will determine the low-frequency response. Cc: CE : fL = max(fLs , fLc , fLE ) J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
high-frequency region, the capacitive elements of importance are the interelectrode (between-terminals) capacitances internal to the active device and the wiring capacitance between leads of the network. • For any inverting amplifier, the input capacitance will be increased by a Miller effect capacitance sensitive to the gain of the amplifier and the interelectrode (parasitic) capacitance between the input and output terminals of the active device. J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
value for Av would result in a negative capacitance (for Av > 1). • For noninverting amplifiers such as the common-base and emitter-follower configurations, the Miller effect capacitance is not a contributing concern for high-frequency applications. • The Miller effect will also increase the level of output capacitance, which must also be considered when the high-frequency cutoff is determined. J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
high-frequency end, there are two factors that define the 3-dB cutoff point: 1. the network capacitance (parasitic and introduced) 2. the frequency dependence of hfe (β). • For RC circuit: J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
high frequencies, the various parasitic capacitances (Cbe , Cbc , Cce ) of the transistor are included with the wiring capacitances (CWi , CWo ). J-601-1448 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014
• The quantity, fβ , is determined by a set of parameters employed in the hybrid π model • The variation of hfe (or β) with frequency approaches the following relationship: • fβ is a function of the bias configuration. • the small change in hfb for the chosen frequency range, revealing that the common-base configuration displays improved high-frequency characteristics over the common-emitter configuration.

Figure of Merit applied to amplifiers called the Gain-Bandwidth Product (GBP) that is commonly used to initiate the design process of an amplifier. • It provides important information about the relationship between the gain of the amplifier and the expected operating frequency range. • at any level of gain the product of the two remains a constant. • the frequency fT is called the unity-gain frequency and is always equal to the product of the midband gain of an amplifier and the bandwidth at any level of gain.
