EE 311 Analog Electronics: Take Home Exam #6 Due: November 5, 2014

This document contains a take-home exam with two questions about analyzing multi-stage amplifiers. Question 1 involves a capacitively-coupled multi-stage amplifier and asks the student to find small signal parameters, gain, input and output impedance, and maximum input amplitude. Question 2 involves a DC-coupled multi-stage amplifier and asks the student to perform similar analyses and verify the results using SPICE simulation.
