Defining the Low Cutoff Frequency 4 ECE-312 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014 © Ahmad El-Banna • In the low-frequency region of the single-stage BJT or FET amplifier, it is the RC combinations formed by the network capacitors CC , CE , and Cs and the network resistive parameters that determine the cutoff frequencies • Voltage-Divider Bias Config.

Bode Plot 6 ECE-312 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014 © Ahmad El-Banna • The piecewise linear plot of the asymptotes and associated breakpoints is called a Bode plot of the magnitude versus frequency.

Bode Plot.. 7 ECE-312 , Lec#7 , Nov 2014 © Ahmad El-Banna • A change in frequency by a factor of two, equivalent to one octave, results in a 6-dB change in the ratio, as shown by the change in gain from fL /2 to fL . • For a 10:1 change in frequency, equivalent to one decade, there is a 20-dB change in the ratio, as demonstrated between the frequencies of fL /10 and fL . • Phase Angle:
