The chapter covers the analysis of frequency response in common emitter (CE) and common source (CS) amplifiers by considering the high-frequency models of BJT and MOSFET. It details the numerical examples illustrating how various circuit parameters affect mid-frequency gain, lower cutoff frequency, and upper cutoff frequency. The significance of input capacitance and the application of Miller's theorem in determining frequency response are also emphasized.

The frequency response characteristics of common emitter and common source amplifiers are affected by circuit parameters.
Input capacitance plays a crucial role in determining the upper cutoff frequency.
Miller's theorem is instrumental in calculating input capacitance and analyzing overall frequency response.
The total capacitance at the input of the amplifier, which is affected by Miller’s theorem and influences high-frequency behavior.
The frequency at which the output power drops to half its value (or -3 dB). The lower and upper cutoff frequencies define the bandwidth of the amplifier.
