Abstract :
Universal circle diagrams are developed which represent the gain, input admittance, and output impedance of the cathode follower. The variables are transconductance and the components of cathode load. The Colpitts oscillator is considered as a cathode follower, and is analyzed with the aid of the circle diagrams, and also algebraically.
