A transistor is a semiconductor device that can amplify or switch electronic signals. It consists of three layers of a semiconductor material, typically silicon, with each layer having a different electrical charge. The three layers are: This report recommends the text as a supplementary

These are fixed-frequency amplifiers (usually 455kHz for AM, 10.7MHz for FM). Because the frequency never changes, you can use transformer coupling (IF transformers) to achieve very high gain (60-80dB) without oscillation. The three layers are: These are fixed-frequency amplifiers

Using capacitors or transformers to link stages while blocking DC offsets. When a transistor is driven hard into cut-off

When a transistor is driven hard into cut-off (OFF) or saturation (ON), it ceases to be an amplifier and becomes a switch. This is the foundation of digital logic.

: Often used for high gain and general-purpose amplification.
