Having an issue with a small homework assignment. The question asks what the overall voltage gain is for the three stage amplifier in the attached picture below.
We were told to assume Hfe = 200
Here's the calculations and formulas I have thus far:
Zin Base (1) = Rswamp(R4) x Hfe = 1k ohms x 200 = 200k ohms
Zin Base (2) = Rswamp(R8) x Hfe = 100 ohms x 200 = 20k ohms
Zin Base (3) = Rload x Hfe = 100 ohms x 200 = 20k ohms
Av (1) = R1//R2//Zin Base (1) = 10k//5.6k//200k = 3.53k ohms
Av (2) = R5//R6//Zin Base (2) = 12k//1k//20k = 882 ohms
Av (3) = Have not figured that out, kind of assuming R7//R8//Zin Base (3)
Now the back of the book gives me a gain of 1679, but various other calculations I've messed around with do not give me that answer.
Can anyone help clear this up for me?
