What does the transition frequency of a transistor state?

  • A.The highest frequency at which the device may be biased
  • B.The frequency at which the input impedance becomes real
  • C.The frequency at which the current gain falls to one
  • D.The frequency at which the voltage gain falls by 3 dB

Answer: C

The transition frequency is where the common-emitter current gain has fallen to unity, and it equals the low-frequency beta times the beta cut-off frequency. The 3 dB point of the voltage gain depends on the circuit rather than the device. The remaining options describe nothing standard. A gain-bandwidth product expressed as a single frequency lets two devices be compared regardless of the gain each is used at.
