Walah Bung Jim...kebanyaken, malah bingung nanti yang belum paham tabung. he..he..he... Saya hanya menjelaskan dari sisi 'gain' tidak menyinggung 'phase' salam, dwa

Also known as the Anode Follower, the Plate Follower is in many ways the inverse of the Cathode Follower. The Cathode Follower preserves the phase of the input signal; the Plate Follower, inverts. The Cathode Follower's output is taken at the cathode; the Plate Follower's output, at the plate. The Cathode Follower's input impedance is extremely high; the Plate Follower's input impedance, relatively low, as it is equal the value of resistor R1. And finally, where the Cathode Follower can only aggressively pull the output more positively; the Plate Follower, can only aggressively pull the output more negatively. Still, the Plate Follower makes a fine buffer and boasts some very desirable features: a ground potential input, adjustable gain, and low heater-to-cathode differentials. The need for a coupling capacitor or a connection to a high voltage input is eliminated in the Plate Follower, as the grid is, in DC terms, at the ground voltage. Unlike the Cathode Follower, whose gain always falls short of unity, the Plate Follower can achieve unity gain output, or if desired, less than unity or more than unity gain. This is a great help when cascading stages and just a bit more gain is needed. Because the cathode is not floating at some high voltage, the issue of maintaining a low heater-to-cathode voltage difference does not arise. The negatives for this buffer are that its bandwidth is compromised by the low pass filter created by resistor R1 working into the Miller Effect capacitance of the triode and the this same resistor defines the input impedance of the circuit and serves to load down the previous stage. Increasing the value of R1 unburdens the previous stage, but worsens the high frequency response. Additionally, the circuit requires three extra resistors and, potentially, a bypass capacitor for resistor Rk as well.

Kenapa bisa ada dua jenis ini, dan apa keunggulan/kerugian dari masing2 topologi ini? sekian aja dulu. selamat bekerja kembali. salam, yus
