to construct a difference amplifier with Ql and Q2 having almost identical properties. Under these conditions any parameter changes due to tempera-ture will cancel and will not vary the output. A number of manufacturers t sell devices designed specifically for difference-amplifier applications. These consist of two high-gain n-p-n silicon planar transistors in the same hermetically sealed enclosure. The manufacturer guarantees that for equality 0 f collector currents the maximum difference in base voltages is 5 mV, that the base-voltage differential at fixed collector current will not exceed 10 juV/°C and that h fe of one transistor will not differ from h ft of the other by more thao 10 percent. It has been found 7 that a substantial reduction in thermal drift is obtained if the two transistors are operated with equal V B s instead of equal collector current.
Difference amplifiers may be cascaded in order to obtain larger amplifi, cations for the difference signal and also better common-mode rejection. Outputs V a i and V o2 are taken from each collector (Fig. 12-23) and are coupled directly to the two bases, respectively, of the next stage.
Finally, the differential amplifier may be used as an emitter-coupled phase inverter. For this application the signal is applied to one base, whereas the second base is not excited (but is, of course, properly biased). The output voltages taken from the collectors are equal in magnitude and 180° out of phase.

13/THE HIGH-FREQUENCY TRANSISTOR
At low frequencies it is assumed that the transistor responds instantly to changes of input voltage or current. Actually, such is not the case because the mechanism of the transport of charge carriers from emitter to collector is essentially one of diffusion. Hence, in order to find out how the transistor behaves at high frequencies, it is necessary to examine this diffusion mechanism in more detail. Such an analysis 1 is complicated, and the resulting equations are suggestive of those encountered in connection with a lossy transmission line. This result could have been
