How to Evaluate Collector-Base Junction Capacitance?

Collector-Base Junction Capacitance evaluator uses Collector-Base Junction Capacitance = Collector-Base Junction Capacitance at 0 Voltage/(1+(Reverse-Bias Voltage/Built-In Voltage))^Grading Coefficient to evaluate the Collector-Base Junction Capacitance, The Collector-base junction capacitance formula is defined as the capacitance between each of its terminals (i.e., base, emitter, collector). These capacitances ultimately limit amplifier bandwidth. If the signal frequency gets high enough, these capacitances can affect amplifier performance. Collector-Base Junction Capacitance is denoted by Ccb symbol.
