Ladder

Device bandwidth — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.

    The frequency a device sets for itself

    A common-emitter stage's bandwidth is decided by two picofarads between its collector and its base. The Miller approximation says how — lump it at the input, multiplied by one plus the gain — and predicts 643 kHz where the solved network gives 503 kHz. Twenty-two per cent optimistic, and it has no room at all for the second pole or for the zero in the right half-plane that the network also has.
