Talk:Common base

Could someone (preferably the author) pleas ex[plain this satment before it is deleted

.... VHF and UHF amplifiers where the fact that the output circuit only passes through a single PN junction rather than the two junctions of a common emitter amplifier gives a crucial advantage. It actually passes through two junctions according to the diagram.

Relax, please. Maybe you should read through WP:AGF? - Omegatron 14:16, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Moved this here cos it is really is not correct and should not be on a live page

Hello Light Current! I read your profile and enjoyed your humor. Why do you think that the output circuit passes through two junctions? The dependent current in the collector-base junction is relative to the base-emitter junction. When calculating the output impedance we do not cross the collector-base junction. Please reply.

[edit] Parallel notation

Which looks better?

R_E \| {r_\pi \over 1 + \beta_0}.
R_E \left\| {r_\pi \over 1 + \beta_0}\right.
Neither, in this case. I suggest delete lines and insert phrase 'in parallel with OR: insert 'and' between the two expressions and put words 'in parallel after. Light current 13:46, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Disagree. :-) - Omegatron 02:58, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

The question is, what will the innocent reader make of it? You and I know it is shorthand for 'in parallel with' but really do you think it should be used in pedia? Light current 03:10, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] R_in

how does R1,R2 appear in the expression for R_in? they are shorted in small signal by C_b. 84.95.124.141 11:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
