Abstract

MUCH literature has been devoted to the use of junction transistors as linear amplifiers but there has been very little information presented on the signal properties of these devices. As large signal devices, transistors have unique characteristics which enable them to perform many functions which were impossible with previously known devices. It is the purpose of this paper to point out some of these characteristics and to give a few illustrative applications.
