Advantages:

There are some advantages of BJT (bipolar junction transistor) which are given below,

• The BJT has a large gain bandwidth.
• It shows better performance at high frequency.
• It has a better voltage gain.
• It can be operated in low or high power applications.
• It has high current density.
• There is a low forward voltage drop.

Disadvantages:

There are some disadvantages of BJT (bipolar junction transistor) which are given below,

• The BJT is more an effect of radiation.
• It has a very complex base control. So it may lead to confusion and requires a skilful handling.
• The switching frequency of a BJT is low.
• It more noise produced.
• It has a low thermal stability.
