PRACTICAL CASCODE AMPLIFIER

1. THEORY :

A Cascode amplifier consists of a CE amplifier followed by a CB amplifier. The CE amplifier is


directly coupled to the CB amplifier. Hence a Cascode amplifier is defined as a direct coupled
CE-CB amplifier. The CE amplifier drives a CB amplifier for both DC and AC inputs. A
practical Cascode amplifier circuit consists of resistors R4 and R5 forming a voltage divider
biasing network for the FET Q2. R3 is the drain resistor for Q2 and it limits the drain current. R2
is the source resistor of Q1 and C1 is its by-pass capacitor. R1 ensures zero voltage at the gate of
Q1 during zero signal condition.

The Cascode connection is especially useful in wideband amplifier


design as well as the design of high-frequency tuned amplifier stages. The improvement in high-
frequency performance is due to the impedance mismatch between the output of the common
emitter stage and the input of the common base stage. Another important characteristics of the
Cascode connection is the higher isolation between its input and output than for a single
common emitter stage, because the reverse transmission across the compound device stage is
much smaller than for the common emitter stage.
