Immediately, I learned that the common base configuration gain was 6db lower than the common emitter. This blew my mind. Then I started checking input resistance and was shocked at how low it measured ...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier configurations. This doesn’t come up as often as it used to, but it is still a good ...

Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...

Physical concepts -- Characteristics, parameters, equivalent circuits -- Basic amplifier configurations -- Direct-current bias circuits -- Low-frequency amplifiers -- Power amplifiers -- High ...

There is so much to learn about the single-transistor amplifier, that this brief tutorial hardly scratches the surface. This discussion considers only the common-emitter configuration as applied to ...
