Question 5.
Explain the impact of increasing input capacitance on the bandwidth of a cascode amplifier in comparison to a common-emitter amplifier. What precautions would you take to maximize performance?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the inverse relationship between capacitance and bandwidth.
Question 6.
For a cascode amplifier where the total input capacitance is 20 pF, and output resistance is 50 kΩ, calculate the cutoff frequency. How can you ensure this frequency meets system requirements?
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula for frequency cutoff based on RC time constant.
