Common Base Amplifiers
Uses the same stabilised bias scheme as CE
configuration.
Common Base Amplifiers
Uses the same stabilised bias scheme as CE
configuration.
The base is grounded for a.c. signals using a
large capacitor.
Signal input at the emitter (between the
emitter and the common base)
Signal output at the collector (between the
collector and the common base)
