At Low Frequencies (<50Hz)
• Voltage gain rolls off (decreases)
Reactance of
Reactance of CE is high
CC is high
CE cannot shunt the
Very small part of signal emitter resistance RE

Mid Frequency Range (50 Hz To 20KHz)
• Voltage gain is constant (Uniform)
Coupling
capacitor CC
As the frequency
increases reactance
of CC decreases
• Very compact.

Disadvantages
• Low voltage and current gain.
• Tendency to become noisy with age, in moist climates.
• Impedance matching is poor.
