Finding number of zeros in emiter follower

AI Thread Summary
To find the number of zeros in an emitter follower circuit, it is noted that the circuit's input and output are both AC coupled, which typically results in two zeros at the zero frequency origin. The discussion highlights the use of the OPEN CIRCUIT time constant method to determine the poles, confirming there are two due to the presence of two independent capacitors. The focus is on analyzing high-frequency response while neglecting the load capacitor. The original poster seeks assistance in identifying the zeros without deriving the entire transfer function. The conversation emphasizes the relationship between AC coupling and the resulting zeros in the circuit.

how can i find the number of zeros in a circuit ?
i am attaching a circuit of emitter follower in which i want to find the high frequency response. Instead of deriving the whole transfer function , i am using OPEN CIRCUIT time constant method to find the poles and midband gain formula by neglecting the effects of capacitors.
Now i know that the number of poles will be equal to 2 because there are 2 independent capacitors.
But i am not able to find the number of zeros. Neglect the load capacitor CL
PLEASE HELP

Sorry for the delay in reply. Unfortunately I cannot read the detail in your diagram.
Since the follower input and output are both AC coupled, I would expect two zeros at the zero frequency origin.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
