Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with designing a two-stage CE amplifier using fixed bias configuration. The first stage has a voltage gain of 120, and the second stage needs to achieve 200. Calculate the required input and output resistances to maintain gain without distortion.
💡 Hint: Use gain formulas and consider implications of resistance values.
Create a scenario where excessive feedback resistor values create instability in a CE amplifier. Describe how you would adjust these to get back to optimal gain.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how feedback impacts overall performance metrics.
