Term: Common Gate Amplifier
Definition: A type of amplifier configuration where the gate of the transistor is connected to a signal ground and serves as the input terminal, offering high input impedance and low output impedance.
Term: Common Base Amplifier
Definition: An amplifier configuration where the base terminal of the transistor is common to both the input and output signals, typically used for high-frequency applications.
Term: Voltage Gain
Definition: The ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage in an amplifier, indicating how much the amplifier increases the input signal.
Term: Input Impedance
Definition: The impedance seen by the input source when connected to the amplifier, affecting the loading of the preceding stage.
Term: Output Swing
Definition: The range of output voltage levels that an amplifier can provide, dictated by the supply voltage and circuit configuration.
