38. Frequency Response of CE and CS Amplifiers (Contd.) (Part A)
The lecture focuses on the frequency response of Common Emitter (CE) amplifiers and introduces the self-biased configuration. It revises concepts from previous discussions and emphasizes circuit analysis, as well as provides numerical examples for practical understanding of component selection in amplifier design. The analysis deepens into both theoretical and practical applications of the CE amplifier's performance in various configurations.

What we have learnt
- The frequency response of CE amplifiers can be analyzed using R-C and C-R circuit models.
- Self-bias arrangements in amplifiers can optimize performance and stability.
- Understanding the impact of capacitive components is crucial in designing amplifiers for specific cutoff frequencies.
Key Concepts
- -- Common Emitter Amplifier
- A type of amplifier configuration that inverts the input signal and provides a significant voltage gain.
- -- SelfBias Configuration
- A biasing method that uses feedback from the emitter to stabilize the operating point of the transistor.
- -- Frequency Response
- The output of a system or circuit in response to various frequencies of input signals.
- -- Cutoff Frequency
- The frequency at which the output signal power drops to half its value (or -3 dB point) compared to the maximum power.
