Each of the transistor biasing configurations--- commonemitter, common- base, and common-collector--- has disadvantages which greatly limit the use of cascaded, single-transistor stages for general wide-band amplification. Careful choice of a combination of biasing configurations in a single stage permits optimum use of the advantages of each configuration while minimizing the effects of the disadvantages, Considerations leading to the design of an acceptable wide- band pulse amplifier stage are discussed. These principles have been applied to the design of a one-stage feedback amplifier, which has the following characteristics; gain = 25.8 db, rise time = 2.8 nsec, and linear amplification of either positive or negative pulses.
