Question
Shown is a cascaded amplifier circuit to deliver power to a 400-ohm load from a 100mV peak AC source
with an impedance of 50 ohms. ß = 175, VÀ has infinite value, V₁ = 26mV. Assume that the BJTs have
VBE = 0.7V and VCESAT = 0.2V.

(a) Assuming that all capacitors → ∞, draw the small signal equivalent circuit of the emitter
follower.
(b) Solve for the small signal parameters, gm and rn, of transistor Q2.
(c) For the emitter follower, derive and solve the values of its two-port parameters (Gm, Av, Ro, and
R₁). To aid you, assume that rn >>1 and ß >> 1.
