Freq. response

Frequency response of amplifiers • �Midband: • �The frequency range of interest for amplifiers

Frequency response of amplifiers • �Midband: • �The frequency range of interest for amplifiers • �Large capacitors can be treated as short circuit and small capacitors can be treated as open circuit • �Gain is constant and can be obtained by small-signal analysis

Low-frequency band: • �Gain drops at frequencies lower than f. L • �Large capacitors

Low-frequency band: • �Gain drops at frequencies lower than f. L • �Large capacitors can no longer be treated as short circuit • �The gain roll-off is mainly due to coupling and by-pass capacitors

LOW FREQUENCY • At low frequency range, the gain falloff due to coupling capacitors

LOW FREQUENCY • At low frequency range, the gain falloff due to coupling capacitors and bypass capacitors. • As signal frequency , the reactance of the coupling capacitor, XC - no longer behave as short circuits. 13

High-frequency band: • �Gain drops at frequencies higher than f. H • �Small capacitors

High-frequency band: • �Gain drops at frequencies higher than f. H • �Small capacitors can no longer treated as open circuit • �The gain roll-off is mainly due to parasitic capacitances of the MOSFETs and BJTs

Example: Human Voice I Natural Voice Telephone System • Natural human voice spans a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, however conventional telephone system passes frequencies from 400 Hz to 3. 5 KHz. Therefore phone conversation differs from face-to-face conversation. CH 11 Frequency Response 20
