Question: The ac schematics of a common-source stage and a common-sourcecommon-gate (cascode) stage are shown in Fig. 7.43 with R S = 10 kΩ and R
The ac schematics of a common-source stage and a common-sourcecommon-gate (cascode) stage are shown in Fig. 7.43 with RS= 10 kΩ and RL= 20 kΩ. Using the transistor and operating-point data in Problem 7.2:
(a) Calculate the low-frequency, small-signal voltage gain Ï o/Ï i for each circuit.
(b) Use the zero-value time-constant method to calculate and compare the 3-dB frequencies of the gain of the two circuits.
