Question 364

What is a characteristic of a grounded-grid amplifier?

  1. High power gain
  2. Low input impedanceCorrect answer
  3. High electrostatic damage protection
  4. Low bandwidth

Explanation

In a grounded-grid stage the drive is applied to the cathode, so the source works into the cathode circuit and sees a low impedance, typically tens of ohms. Power gain is comparatively low because the drive power passes through to the output, and the bandwidth is wide rather than narrow.
