Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a common emitter amplifier that incorporates emitter degeneration. Discuss how you would balance the need for gain against the need for stability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the formula for gain in relation to resistor values.

Question 2

Critically assess the impact of beta variability with temperature in different scenarios (e.g., high vs low-temperature environments) on a CE amplifier's performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the extreme temperature ranges and how they could affect commercial applications of the amplifier.
