Common emitter transistor amplifier including a heat sink

Claim 1

A TRANSISTOR AMPLIFIER WHEREIN THE TRANSISTOR IS SO CONSTRUCTED THAT THE COLLECTOR METERIAL IS IN PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE TRANSISTOR CASE, COMPRISING: MEANS IN PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH AND EXTERNAL TO SAID TRANSISTOR CASE FOR DISSPATING HEAT GENERATED DURING OPERATION OF SAID TRANSISTOR; MEANS COUPLED BETWEEN SAID HEAT DISSIPATING MEANS AND AN ELECTRICAL REFERENCE POTENTIAL CONDUCTOR FOR ELECTRICALLY INSULATING SAID HEAT DISSIPATING MEANS, SAID CASE, AND SAID COLLECTOR FROM SAID ELECTRICAL REFERENCE POTENTIAL CONDUCTOR; MEANS FOR SUPPLYING A BIAS POTENTIAL TO SAID COLLECTOR; MEANS FOR SUPPLYING INPUT SIGNALS TO THE BASE OF SAID TRANSISTOR; AND MEANS COUPLING THE EMITTER OF SAID TRANSISTOR TO SAID ELECTRICAL REFERENCE POTENTIAL CONDUCTOR; WHEREBY THE COMBINATION OF SAID HEAT DISSIPAING MEANS, SAID INSULATING MEANS AND SAID ELECTRICAL REFERENCE POTENTIAL CONDUCTOR PRODUCES A CAPACITIVE REACTANCE BETWEEN THE COLLECTOR AND EMITTER TERMINALS AND SAID TRANSISTOR IS ARRANGED TO OPERATE IN THE COMMON EMITTER CONFIGURATION.
