Question
For the DC analysis of the Common-Emitter amplifier shown, neglect the base current and assume that the emitter and collector currents are equal. Given that , , and the BJT output resistance is practically infinite. Under these conditions, the midband voltage gain magnitude, V/V, is ________.
Correct answer
127 to 129
Solution
1.DC Analysis:
- Calculate base voltage :
- Calculate emitter voltage :
- Calculate emitter current :
- Since base current is neglected, .
- Calculate transconductance :
3.AC Analysis:
- The midband voltage gain magnitude for a bypassed Common-Emitter amplifier is:
- Calculate gain magnitude:
