For the transistor discussed in Question 21, what is the value of common-emitter short circuit gain at f_T?
(a) 1 ∠0.43° (b) 1 ∠12°
(c) 1 ∠0° (d) 1 ∠0.26°
(d)f_{\mathrm{T}}=h_{\mathrm{fe}}f_{\beta}
=2{2}{4}\times358.63\times10^{3}=80.333\ \mathrm{MHz}
For f=f_{\mathrm{T}},
A_{\mathrm{i}}=-\frac{224}{1+\left\{(80.333\times10^{6})/(358.63\times10^{3})\right\}}
=-{\frac{224}{1+224j}}
\left|A_{\mathrm{i}}\right|={\frac{224}{\sqrt{1^{2}+\;224^{2}}}}=1
Therefore,
\angle A_{\mathrm{i}}=90^{\circ}-\tan^{-1}\left(224\right)=90^{\circ}-89.744^{\circ}=0.256^{\circ}
