Relationship Between Transfer Function and Frequency Response
Solution: There are two capacitors in the circuit, it will introduce two
pole corner frequency in the transfer function

Miller’s Theorem
• This circuit consists of floating capacitor
• An approximation given by “Miller’s Theorem”
can simplify the task in these cases.

Typical frequency response of an amplifier
• We call 𝜔𝐿 as the lower corner or lower “cut-off” frequency and 𝜔𝐻 the upper corner or
upper cut-off frequency.
• Chosen to accommodate the signal frequencies of interest, the band between 𝜔𝐿 and
𝜔𝐻 is called the “midband range” and the corresponding gain the “midband gain.”
