A transconductance model in amplifier stages — part 1
This paper presents a midfrequency linear incremental model for transistors in their typical amplifying region, valid for BJTs as well as for FETs. A generical single-stage amplifier configuration has also been developed which can be thoroughly modelled by three a.c. equivalent resistances. The advantage of this model lies in its three resistive parameters which remain valid for the different types of transistor.
