 11. DETERMINING THE CURRENT GAIN
For each transistor configuration, the current gain can be determined directly from the
voltage gain, the defined load, and the input impedance.

The total voltage gain is

The total current gain is

Note: The load on stage 1 is Zi2, on stage 2 is Zi3, on stage 3 is Zin, and so on.

Ans:
The loading of the second stage is

For the unloaded second stage the gain is

resulting in an overall gain of

The output voltage is then

 15. Cascode Connection
Cascode means the collector of the leading transistor is connected to the emitter of the
following transistor. There are two configurations:
First

with the voltage gain for the second stage (common base) of

The overall no-load gain is
