Why an emitter bypass capacitor is used in CE configuration?

Emitter Bypass Capacitor When an emitter resistance is added in a CE (Common Emitter) amplifier, its voltage gain is reduced, but the input impedance increases. If the bypass capacitor is removed, an extreme degeneration is produced in the amplifier circuit and the voltage gained will be reduced.

What is the purpose of the emitter resistor Re?

The emitter resistor is there to provide feedback in order to stabilize the DC biasing/operating point. However, in the AC analysis it’s just going to reduce the gain of a CE stage, so it’s typically bypassed via a capacitor (chosen such that the capacitive reactance is small compared to this resistor’s resistance).

Is the emitter resistance in a common emitter voltage amplifier is not bypassed it will?

Observation: Clearly, the voltage gain decreases, and the input resistance is increased if the emitter is not bypassed.

What is the effect of emitter bypass capacitor on the bandwidth of the amplifier?

Emitter bypass capacitors are used to short circuit the emitter resistor and thus increases the gain at high frequency. The coupling and bypass capacitors cause the fall of the signal in the low frequency response of the amplifier because their impedance becomes large at low frequencies.

Why CE amplifier is mostly preferred?

Common emitter circuit is preferred over a common base circuit in amplifiers because the resistance of the common emitter circuit is much less than that of the common base circuit. Also the power gain in the common emitter circuit is much higher than that in a common base circuit.

Why do we use CE amplifier has a large signal class A amplifier?

Why do we use CE amplifier as a large signal class a amplifier? Explanation: Since CE amplifier has reasonably high voltage gain and hence can work with high voltage or large signals.
