Lecture 2

The document discusses transfer functions and their analysis in the s-domain. It covers common source amplifiers, Miller's theorem, poles and zeros, and bode plots. Bode plots can be used to analyze the magnitude and phase response of a transfer function. The document also discusses the low frequency, mid-band, and high frequency behavior of amplifier transfer functions. Key aspects covered include the dominant pole approximation and estimating corner frequencies from poles and zeros.
