Merlin (le Valvewizard ), décidément très occupé, vient de me répondre heir à mon message du 12 juillet ! 
Comme je suppose que tout le monde a décroché, j'hésite à faire part de notre échange . Ce qui ne me coûte rien c'est copier/coller. Vu le rythme de nos échanges vous avez largement le temps de traduire ( il s'agit du calcul de la capa de découplage de cathode)

Je lui réponds :
Hello Merlin,
First the formula accounts for that . Look at it again :
Code : Tout sélectionner
           1                         (µ+1)Rk
f =  _________*square root of ( (1 + _____    )² - 2)
     2 Pi Rk Ck                      RA +  rak
When             (µ+1)Rk
          ( 1 + ________    )² = 2
                  RA +  rak
then f = 0 that is the -3 dB point is the null frequency.  But if
                  (µ+1)Rk
          ( 1 + ________    )² is less than  2
                RA +  rak
then it is impossible to find a value for f  because this -3dB point does not exist because we are in the case that you mention that is the difference between maximum gain and minimum gain does not reach 3 dB.
Second : you'll find the graphical method here :

If you need an explanation about it do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards.
