Transistor Amplifier Design
Devendra K. Misra · 2001
This chapter begins with the stability considerations for a two-port network and the formulation of relevant conditions in terms of its scattering parameters. Expressions for input and output stability circles are presented next to facilitate the design of amplifier circuits. Design procedures for various small-signal single-stage amplifiers are discussed for unilateral as well as bilateral transistors. Noise figure considerations in amplifier design are discussed. An overview of broadband amplifiers is included. Small-signal equivalent circuits and biasing mechanisms for various transistors are also summarized.
