There are TWO high-pass filters in that circuit. The input cap is one. The emitter-resistor-bypass is the other. Both of these capacitors cause a rising output signal level. Thus 12 db/octave or 40dB/decade. Its your job to manage the timeconstants of these TWO HPF. ---------------------------------- What is the input impedance? Zin is Z(c1) + the parallel combination of a) R1 b) R2 c) Miller Capacitance [stage voltage gain * Cob (C collecter to base) ] d) the sum of beta* [1/gm + { R4 in parallel with Z(20uF) } ], where beta*1/gm is R_pi.
