Abstract

This chapter presents an amplifier design technique that utilizes the transistor hybrid h parameters, those which are frequently listed in manufacturer's data sheets or can be established by measurements. The matrix analysis can be used for manipulating the transistor and external circuit parameters as best suited to the problem at hand. The concept can be exploited whereby the transistor is considered as forming a link in the chain between generator and output networks. The passive four-terminal networks themselves are conveniently described by the general parameters of the transmission matrix. An analytical approach based on this philosophy yields a better feel of the transistor's linear model and its inherent limitations. The compact yet rigorous matrix analysis contributes to a systematic and elegant mathematical procedure for solving the majority of amplifier design problems.
