Question 1.
What is a common emitter amplifier?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the emitter's role in the circuit.
Question 2.
How does cascading affect amplifier performance?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens when components are directly connected.
3Question 3.
What is the expected total gain when cascading two amplifiers?
- The product of their gains
- Sum of their gains
- Gain equals one
Show hintHide hint
Think of how each amplifier influences the next.
4Question 4.
True or False: The addition of a buffer always increases the gain of the circuit.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the purpose of buffers in circuits.
Question 5.
If two common emitter amplifiers have gains of 12 and 8 with an input capacitance of 10nF for the second stage, calculate the overall gain assuming an attenuation of 0.5 due to loading.
Show hintHide hint
Use the product of gains and apply the attenuation factor.
Question 6.
Discuss in detail how one might design an improved cascading system for amplifiers seeking to maintain bandwidth while maximizing gain.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the roles of input and output capacitance in your designs.
