• vo/vI =
[RP/(RS+RP)]/[1+[RP/(RS+RP)](CP/CS)+
sτP+1/sτS]

• If the Bode plot is made, the corner frequency

At the lower end fL = 1/2πτS;
At the higher end fH = 1/2πτP;

• fBW = fH - fL.

• Calculate the corner frequency and maximum gain of a
bipolar common emitter circuit with a coupling capacitor.For
the circuit shown in Figure the parameters are: R1 = 51.2 k,
R2 = 9.6 k, RC = 2 k, RE = 0.4 k, RSi = 0.1 k, CC = 1 μF, and VCC
=10 V. The transistor parameters are: VBE(on) = 0.7 V, β = 100,
and VA =∞.

• With Dc analysis we can find IcQ

Therefore IcQ= 1.81mA

small-signal parameters are
gm = 69.6 mA/V and
rπ = 1.44 k.
