AE_Lecture5_PartC_High Frequency Analysis of CB & CC Amplifier

Module by: Bijay_Kumar Sharma. E-mail the author

Summary: In AE-Lecture5_Part C we find the analytic relationship of the upper cutoff frequency of CB and CC amplifier.

High Frequency Response Of CB Amplifier.

CB Amplifier is almost an uni-lateral circuit. It has negligible reverse transmission. Hence it is ideal for RF applications where there is always a danger of parasitic oscillations.

Figure 1 (Picture 1.png)

In Figure 1, we have a CB BJT Amplifier with two battery biasing. This circuit has to be analyzed for its upper cut off frequency.

Figure 2 (Picture 5.png)

In Figure 2, we have given the high frequency model of CB BJT using the T-Model of BJT.

Following is the open circuit time constant method for arriving at the upper cut-off frequency of the amplifier.

HIGH FREQUENCY MODEL OF CC AMPLIFIER

CC Amplifier is also known as Emitter Follower. It is also known as Buffer. Buffer isolates the output system from input system.

It is used for driving transmission lines. It is a voltage controlled voltage source. Its output is a constant current source hence it is suitable for driving variable load.

In Figure 3, we have CC Amplifier with self bias. We will analyze the upper cut-off frequency of the amplifier.

The Trnsistor is operating at Q point (1.5mA,5V). Following Hybrid-π are given:

What is τµo ( open-circuit time constant associated with Cµ ) and τπo ( open-circuit time constant associated with Cπ )?

τµo=(Cµ)(R10)

τπo=(Cπ)(R20)

Circuit for finding R1o

Figure 20
Figure 20 (Picture 10.png)

To find the equivalent resistance seen by Cµ, we apply a voltage source at base and ground.

Total current drawn from vo is i1+i2.

Therefore vo/(i1+i2)= R1o

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
