  • Abstract
    The drift-cum-diffusion mechanimn in the transistor base sets the ultimate speed of the transient response of its collector current when excited by an emitter-base step-function voltage. The response characteristics are calculated with reference to an analog RC transmission line and used to determine the frequency-domain response.
