Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a CE amplifier with a gain of at least 15 using partial bypassing. Explain how the values were chosen to maintain bias stability.
💡 Hint: Think about how partial bypassing impacts the bias stability.
You have two cascade stages both designed for approximately 200 gain. However, after connecting them, the output gain measured is only around 150. What could be the issue?
💡 Hint: Consider revisiting the resistance calculations for both stages.
