    Q1] In Fig.1, a common-emitter amplifier has CC1 CE CC2 1 µF, RB 100 kΩ, Rsig
    5 kΩ, gm 40 mA/V, r = 2.5 kΩ, RC 8 kΩ, and RL 5 kΩ. Assuming that the three
    capacitors do not interact, find fP1, fP2, and fP3, and hence estimate fL.

    Ans. : 21.4 Hz, 2.21 KHz, 12.2 Hz

    Q2] In Fig. 2, a CS amplifier has CC1 CS CC2 1 µF, RG 10 MΩ, Rsig 100 kΩ, gm 2
    mA/V, RD RL 10 kΩFind AM, fP1, fP2, fP3, and fL.

    Fig.2
    Ans. : -9.9 V/V, 0.016 Hz, 318 Hz, 8 Hz, 318 Hz

    Page 1|4
    Q3] Select appropriate values for the coupling capacitors CC1 and CC2 and the bypass
    capacitor CS for a CS amplifier for which RG = 4.7 MΩ, RD = RL = 15 kΩ, Rsig = 100 kΩ,
    and gm = 1 mA/V. It is required to have fL at 100 Hz and that the nearest break frequency
    be at least a decade lower.

    Ans. : 3.3nF, 0.53μF, 1.6μF

    Q4] The NMOS transistor in the discrete CS amplifier circuit of Fig. 3 is biased to have gm
    = 1 mA/V. Find AM, fP1, fP2, fP3, and fL.

    Fig. 3.

    Ans. : -3.16 V/V, 1.9 Hz, 23.9 Hz, 108.3 Hz, 108.3 Hz

    Q5] A discrete MOSFET common-source amplifier has Rin 2 MΩ, gm 4 mA/V, ro 100
    kΩ, RD 10 kΩ, Cgs 2 pF, andCgd 0.5 pF. The amplifier is fed from a voltage source
    with aninternal resistance of 500 kΩand is connected to a 10-kΩload. Find:
    (a) the overall midband gain AM
    (b) the upper 3-dB frequency fH
    Ans. : -15.2 V/V, 33.1 KHz

    Q6] The NMOS transistor in the discrete CS amplifier circuit of Fig. 3 is biased to have gm
    1 mA/V and ro 100 kΩ. Find AM. If Cgs 1 pF and Cgd 0.2 pF, find fH.

    Ans. : -3.06 V/V, 874.99 KHz

    Page 2|4
    Q7] The analysis of the high-frequency response of the common-source amplifier, presented
    in the text, is based on the assumption that the resistance of the signal source, Rsig, is large
    and, thus, that its interaction with the input capacitance Cin produces the “dominant pole”
    that determines the upper 3-dB frequency fH. In some situations, however, the CS amplifier
    is fed with a very low Rsig. To investigate the high-frequency response of the amplifier in
    such a case, Fig. 4 shows the equivalent circuit when the CS amplifier is fed with an ideal
    voltage source Vsig having Rsig 0. Note that CL denotes the total capacitance at the output
    node. By writing a node equation at the output, show that the transfer function Vo/Vsig is
    given by

    𝑉𝑜 1 − 𝑠(𝐶𝑔𝑑 /𝑔𝑚 )
    = −𝑔𝑚 𝑅𝐿 ′
    𝑉sig 1 + 𝑠(𝐶𝐿 + 𝐶𝑔𝑑 )𝑅𝐿 ′

    At frequencies (gm/cgd), the s term in the numerator can be neglected. In such case, what
    is the upper 3-dB frequency resulting? Compute the values of AM and fH for the case: Cgd 
    0.5 pF, CL 2 pF, gm 4 mA/V, and RL′5 kΩ.

    Q8] Consider the common-emitter amplifier of Fig. 5 under the following conditions: Rsig
    5 kΩ, R1 33 kΩ, R2 22 kΩ, RE 3.9 kΩ, RC 4.7 kΩ, RL 5.6 kΩ, VCC 5 V. The dc
    emitter current can be shown to be IE ≈ 0.3 mA, at which 120, ro = 300 kΩ, and rx = 50
    Ω. Find the input resistance Rin and the midband gain AM. If the transistor is specified to
    have fT = 700 MHz and Cµ = 1 pF, find the upper 3-dB frequency fH. (VT= 25mV)

    Fig.5

    Ans. : 5.7 KΩ, -16.11 V/V, 1.79 MHz

    Q9] For a version of the CE amplifier circuit in Fig. 8, Rsig 10 kΩ, R1 68 kΩ, R2 27 kΩ,
    RE 2.2 kΩ, RC 4.7 kΩ, and RL 10 kΩ. The collector current is 0.8 mA, 200, fT 1
    GHz, and Cµ0.8 pF. Neglecting the effect of rx and ro, find the midband voltage gain and
    the upper 3-dB frequency fH.

    Ans. : -32.8 V/V, 572 KHz
