Term: Common Collector Amplifier
Definition: A type of amplifier configuration that helps increase the input resistance when placed before other amplifier stages.
Term: Darlington Pair
Definition: A configuration involving two transistors where the emitter of the first is connected to the base of the second, leading to high input impedance and maintained gain.
Term: Input Resistance
Definition: A measure of how much resistance the amplifier offers to the input signal, crucial for compatibility with signal sources.
Term: Biasing
Definition: The process of setting a baseline voltage and current for a transistor to operate effectively.
Term: Miller Effect
Definition: A phenomenon where the input capacitance of an amplifier increases due to feedback, significantly affecting high-frequency response.
