Question
1) show that the presence of bypass capacitor in the circuit significantly enhances the gain in the mid-band region. In answering you may assume that the bypass capacitor creates a virtual ground at the capacitor. You may also ignore the coupling capacitors and the biasing resistors. In the small-signal model, assume that gm = 0.5 X 10^-3 S.
2) by looking at the data-sheet for VN2222LL, state the maximum allowed Drain-Source voltage for this transistor.
Explanation / Answer
the voltage gain is =-gm*Rload.
here Rload=R3 || R6
so when the bypass capacitor is not present,
Ib=(Vbe-.7)/((B+1)*R5)
gm=Ic/Vt
so the gm decreases in absence of bypass capacitor.
when the R5 is sorted, the Ic increases, increasing the value of gm as Vt=.026 V
so gain increases as Rload is same in both cases.
