Immediately, I learned that the common base configuration gain was 6db lower than the common emitter. This blew my mind. Then I started checking input resistance and was shocked at how low it measured ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...

Bipolar transistors used in a common emitter configuration to make a high frequency amplifier are sometimes defined for their small-signal properties under the assumption that the gain transistor's ...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier ...
