Term: Cascode Amplifier
Definition: A type of amplifier configuration that improves gain and bandwidth while reducing input capacitance, making it advantageous for high-frequency applications.
Term: Miller Effect
Definition: Phenomenon in amplifiers where an input capacitance is effectively increased due to feedback, impacting bandwidth.
Term: GainBandwidth Product
Definition: A constant for a given amplifier that reflects the trade-off between gain and bandwidth; as gain increases, bandwidth decreases and vice versa.
