This chapter discusses common base and common gate amplifiers, emphasizing their theoretical aspects and performance parameters. A series of numerical examples are provided to illustrate the calculation of voltage gain, input and output impedances, and design guidelines. Key considerations around circuit performance and practical applications of these configurations are analyzed in depth.
Common base and common gate amplifiers provide distinct advantages in terms of voltage gain.
The input capacitance of common base amplifiers is lower than that of common emitter amplifiers, which is beneficial for high bandwidth applications.
The performance metrics of amplifiers, such as voltage gain and input/output impedance, can be significantly affected by source resistance.
An amplifier configuration where the base terminal is common to both the input and output, providing high voltage gain with low input impedance.
An amplifier configuration where the gate terminal is common to both the input and output, characterized by high bandwidth and lower input capacitance.
The ratio of output voltage to input voltage in an amplifier, indicating the amplification capability.
The impedance that an input source 'sees' at the input of an amplifier, crucial in determining how much of the input signal is usable.
The impedance presented by the output port of an amplifier, determining how much voltage drop occurs across it during signal transmission.
The frequency at which the output voltage drops to a specific percentage (usually 70.7%) of its value at lower frequencies, defining bandwidth.
