Which of the following would not widen a common-emitter stage's bandwidth?

Raising the collector load resistance

Lowering the source impedance

Adding a cascode device above it

Adding a small shunt-peaking inductor

  • A.Raising the collector load resistance
  • B.Lowering the source impedance
  • C.Adding a cascode device above it
  • D.Adding a small shunt-peaking inductor

Answer: A

Raising the collector load increases the gain and lowers the high-frequency break in the same proportion, so the bandwidth falls rather than widening. The other three all attack the limitation directly: the drive impedance, the Miller multiplication, or the load impedance's frequency dependence. A change that moves a conserved product's two factors in opposite directions cannot improve both, and recognising that saves proposing it.
