Given two CE amplifiers with a gain of 15 each and an output resistance of 3kΩ and an input resistance of 1kΩ, calculate the actual overall gain.
💡 Hint: This requires integrating the understanding of loading into calculations.
Critically evaluate the combined cutoff frequency when the lower stage has a cutoff of 2kHz and the upper stage has a cutoff of 1kHz. Discuss the bandwidth impact.
💡 Hint: Use the concept of the minimum cutoff frequency for cascaded systems in your evaluation.
