Question # 1:

For the bipolar circuits, identify all of the transistor capacitances and determine
which ones are in parallel and which ones are grounded on both ends.

Question # 2:

The common-emitter stage employs a current-source load to achieve

a high gain (at low frequencies). Assuming VA < ∞ and using Miller’s theorem,
determine the input and output poles and hence the transfer function of the
circuit.

Question # 3:

We wish to design the CE stage of Fig for an input pole at 500 MHz and
an output pole at 2 GHz. Assuming IC = 1 mA, Cπ = 20 fF, Cμ = 5 fF,

CCS = 10fF, and VA = ∞, and using Miller’s theorem, determine the values of
RB and RC such that the (low-frequency) voltage gain is maximized.

Determine the transfer function of the circuits

shown in Fig. Assume λ = 0 for M1
