Question
A small signal source, is applied to a BJT circuit as shown in the Figure.Assume zero source resistance, , , Early voltage and Thermal voltage . Effect of internal parasitic capacitances of the BJT may be neglected.Which expression is the best approximation of the output voltage ?
Correct answer
(A) -9.1[A cos(10⁵ t) + B sin(10⁷ t)]
Solution
1.DC Analysis:
..
.
.
2.AC Analysis:
At and , the capacitor acts as a short circuit ( and respectively), bypassing the resistor.The AC emitter resistance is .
Voltage gain .
.
.
.Rounding to the nearest option, . Since it is a common-emitter amplifier, the output is inverted. Thus, .
