Question BJT common emitter amplifier equivalent circuit (π hybrid model)
Im studying the equivalent model of a BJT common emitter amplifier at high frequencies.At university we tought that the BJT at high frequencies looks something like this: ![](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/MAzybbLAUC9WM7AGPwrHAGAo) However when designing a common emitter amplifier we h...

Question Thermal stability coefficient
The thermal stability coefficient is defined to be: $S = \frac{dI{C}}{dI{CBO}}$ where $I{CBO}$ is the reverse current of the BJT when voltage isnt applied to the base of the BJT. In case of a BJT biased with 2 sources $I{C} = \beta \cdot I{b}+(\beta +1)I{CBO}$ However my textbook says that $...

Answer A: Band pass filter given cutoff frequency and bandwidth
My mistake was taking the third relationship $$ \frac{1}{RC} $$ which says how to find the bandwidth of a parallel RLC filter but we have a series RLC filter. Now solving the system : $$ LC = 100020001 , \frac{R}{L} = 2 $$ gives us the correct ratio between C1 and R1 and L1 with more detail: ...

Answer A: How to treat data communication questions?
I may be a little bit biased on this one because it was my question which started this thread but : I don't think data communication question should be generally off-topic because it evolves binary logic and the way the data are sent/received is through electric signals.
