BASIC BJT AMPLIFIERS
(AC ANALYSIS)
The Bipolar Linear Amplifier

Bipolar transistors have been traditionally used in linear amplifier
circuits because of their relatively high gain.

To use the circuit as an amplifier, the transistor needs to be biased
with a dc voltage at a quiescent point (Q-point) such that the transistor
is biased in the forward-active region.

If a time-varying signal is superimposed on the dc input voltage, the
output voltage will change along the transfer curve producing a timevarying output voltage.

If the time-varying output voltage is directly proportional to and larger
than the time-varying input voltage, then the circuit is a linear
amplifier.

The linear amplifier applies superposition
principle

THE SMALL SIGNAL
PARAMETERS
The resistance rπ is called diffusion
resistance or B-E input resistance. It
is connected between Base and
Emitter terminals
The term gm is called a
transconductance
ro = VA / ICQ
rO = small signal transistor output
resistance
VA is normally equals to , hence, if
that is the case, rO =   open
circuit

Hence from the equation of the AC
parameters, we HAVE to perform DC
analysis first in order to calculate them.
EXAMPLE

The transistor parameter are  = 125 and
VA=200V. A value of gm = 200 mA/V is
desired. Determine the collector current, ICQ
and then find r and ro
ANSWERS: ICQ = 5.2 mA, r= 0.625 k and ro = 38.5 k

Follow the steps
1. Rout = ro || RC = 5.677 k
2. Equation of vo : vo = - ( ro || RC )  ib= - 567.7 ib
3. Calculate Rib  using KVL: ib r - vb = 0  hence Rib = r
4. Calculate Ri  RTH||r = 1.87 k
5. vb in terms of vs  use voltage divider:
vb = [ Ri / ( Ri + Rs )] * vs = 0.789 vs
vb
so: vb = 0.789 vs replace in equation from step 1
6. Go back to equation of vo
vo = - 567.7 ib
but ib = vb / Rib (from step 3)
vo = - 567.7 [0.789 vs] / 2.74
vo = -163.5 vs
AV = vo / vs = - 163.5

1. Rout = RC = 6 k
2. Equation of vo : vo = - RC  ib= - 720 ib
3. Calculate Rib  using KVL: ib r + ie RE - vb = 0
but ie = (1+ ) ib = 121 ib
so: ib [ 121(0.6) + 7.46 ] = vb  Rib = 80.06 k
4. Calculate Ri  RTH||Rib = 33.53 k
5. vb in terms of vs  use voltage divider:
vb = [ Ri / ( Ri + Rs )] * vs = 0.9853 vs
vb
so: vb = 0.9853 vs
6. Go back to equation of vo
vo = - 720 ib = - 720 [ vb / Rib ]
vo = - 720 [ 0.9853 vs / 80.06 ]
vo = - 8.86vs
AV = vo / vs = - 8.86


Circuit with Emitter Bypass Capacitor
●
There may be times when the emitter resistor must be
large for the purpose of DC design, but degrades the
small-signal gain too severely.
●
An emitter bypass capacitor can be used to effectively
create a short circuit path during ac analysis hence avoiding
the effect RE

CE becomes a short circuit path –
bypass RE; hence similar to Type 1

3. Calculate Rib  using KVL: ib r - vb = 0  hence Rib = r = 3.87 k
4. Calculate Ri  RTH||r = 2.79 k
5. vb in terms of vs  use voltage divider:
vb = [ Ri / ( Ri + Rs )] * vs = vs since RS = 0 k
vb
so: v b = vs
6. Go back to equation of vo
vo = - 284.75 ib = - 284.75 [ vb / Rib ]
vo = - 284.75 (vs) / 3.87
