Small signal : ac input signal voltages and
currents are in the order of 10 percent of Qpoint voltages and currents.

Using the appropriate substitutions for the various voltages and currents,
and making the assumption that the ac signal source, vs=0 then we get a
term for the base-emitter loop when all dc terms are set to zero.
Similar re-arrangements will lead to an equation for the collector-emitter
loop, with all dc terms set to zero.
110
Cont
Below is the ac equivalent circuit, due to the equations derived
previously.
All currents & voltages shown are time-varying signals.
Although this is an ac equivalent circuit = = > the implicit
assumption is that the transistor is appropriately forward-biased

TOPIC 8
Frequency Response
112
Midband
113
Definition
Frequency response of an amplifier is the graph of its gain versus
the frequency.
Cutoff frequencies : the frequencies at which the voltage gain
equals 0.707 of its maximum value.
Midband : the band of frequencies between 10f1 and 0.1f2. The
voltage gain is maximum.
Bandwidth : the band between upper and lower cutoff frequencies
Outside the midband, the voltage gain can be determined by
these equations:
Amid
1 f1 / f
Below midband
Amid
1 f / f2
Above midband
114
Cont
Gain-bandwidth product : constant value of the
product of the voltage gain and the bandwidth.
Unity-gain frequency : the frequency at which the
amplifiers gain is 1
fT Amid BW
115
Low Frequency
At low frequency range, the gain falloff due to
coupling capacitors and bypass capacitors.
As signal frequency , the XC - no longer
behave as short circuits.
116
High Frequency
The gain falls off at high frequency end due to the
internal capacitances of the transistor.
Transistors exhibit charge-storage phenomena that
limit the speed and frequency of their operation.
Small capacitances exist between the
base and collector and between the
base and emitter. These effect the
frequency characteristics of the circuit.

Millers Theorem
This theorem simplifies the analysis of feedback
amplifiers.
The theorem states that if an impedance is
connected between the input side and the output
side of a voltage amplifier, this impedance can be
replaced by two equivalent impedances, i.e. one
connected across the input and the other
connected across the output terminals.
