Introduction
In early chapters, we analysed AC-equivalent-circuit of amplifiers
with an assumption that the impedance of a capacitor, ZC, is zero
for all frequency, i.e.,
ZC 0
Moreover, we derived the voltage amplification AV as a constant
for the whole frequency, i.e.,
+V

Introduction (cont.)
Therefore, we analyse effects from (1) coupling and bypass
capacitors (which affect the amp. like a high-pass filter ) and (2)
internal capacitances of the transistors (which affect the amp. like
a low-pass filter).

Millers Theorem
Millers theorem is used to simplify the analysis of inverting
amplifiers at high frequencies; the capacitance between the
input and output is equivalent to separate input and output
capacitances to ground.

The Decibel
The decibel is a logarithmic ratio of two power levels and is
used in electronics work in gain or attenuation measurements.
Decibels can be expressed as a voltage ratio when the
voltages are measured in the same impedance.
To express power gain in decibels, the formula is
Ap(dB) = 10 log Ap
To express voltage gain in decibels, the formula is
Av(dB) = 20 log Av

The Decibel
Sometimes, 0 dB is assigned as a convenient reference level
for comparison. Then, other power or voltage levels are
shown with respect to 0 dB.

Low-Frequency Response
In capacitively coupled amplifiers, the coupling and bypass
capacitors affect the low frequency cutoff. These capacitors
form a high-pass filter with circuit resistances. A typical
+V
BJT amplifier has three high-pass filters.
