Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider two common emitter amplifiers with gains of 10 and 5. If they are cascaded but experience a loading effect causing a gain reduction of 50%, what is the overall output gain?
💡 Hint: Remember the gain formula and how loading applies.
Design a buffer stage that can enhance the performance of a given common source amplifier. Outline the characteristics of your proposed buffer and how it would minimize the loading effects.
💡 Hint: Focus on the key characteristics that solve cascading problems.
