Option (C) is correct.
Av < Av
2 1
w
Small signal circuit is (mid-band frequency range)
w
CE " 0 , for mid-band frequencies
vo =- gm vp RC
In the input loop
vp = vi rp
RB + rp
- gm RC rp vi
So, vo =
RB + rp
- gm rp RC
Gain Av = vo =
vi RB + rp
Trans-conductance
(1 mA)
gm = IC = = 1 A/V
VT (26 mV) 26
b
gm rp = b0 & rp = 0 = 200 # 26 = 5.2 kX
gm
- 200 # (1 kW)
So gain Av = =- 6.62
(25 kW + 5.2 kW)
AC 3.44 Option (B) is correct.
Cut off frequency due to CE is obtained as
f0 = 1

Req = RE < RB + rp = iaRE (RB + rp)
So

So,
w w CE =
2pRE (RB + rp) CE
(0.1 + 25 + 5.2) # 103
