Problem # In the amplifier shown below a dc biasing circuit (no shown) makes that the large signal output voltage is Vo = 1V. C i is a large coupling capacitor. Assume that the circuit is compensated to ensure stability. (a) what is the type of feedback used? (b) what is the feedback factor, f? (c) what is the loop gain, T , at low frequence? (d) what is the low-frequency, small-signal voltage gain vo / vi of the circuit? (e) what is the low frequency input resistance, Ri? (f) what is the low frequency output resistance, Ro?
Problem # For the circuit below, find (a) the low-frequency transresistance Rx = vo / isig , and (b) the bandwidth f -3 db (use zero valued time constants).
