    Amplifier classification
    › Three broad classes of amplifiers:

    – Inverting amplifiers provide high voltage gain with a 1800 phase


    shift: common-emitter and common-source configurations

    – Non-inverting amplifiers provide high voltage gain with no phase


    shift: common-base and common-gate configurations

    – Followers provide nearly unity gain similar to the op amp voltage


    follower: common-collector and common-drain configurations

    CG and CB Amplifiers
    › Both amplifiers have low input resistance
    – This is convenient when the source has low series resistance.
    Examples are communication circuits where the coaxial cable
    has a resistance of 50 W or 75 W or …. and impedance
    matching is used.
    › Both amplifiers have excellent frequency response
    characteristics. More about this in chapter 10.

    Transmission lines
    • For maximum power
    transfer over a transmission
    line, the load impedance
    should match the line
    impedance
    • If the impedances are not
    matched, standing waves
    will develop along the line
    which means some of the
    power is reflected back to
    the source
