• re transistor model – employs a diode and controlled current source to duplicate the behavior of a transistor in the region of interest.

• The re and hybrid models will be used to analyze small-signal AC analysis of standard transistor network configurations.

Ex: Common-base, common-emitter and common-collector configurations.

• The network analyzed represent the majority of those appearing in practice today.

BJT Small Signal Analysis

AC equivalent of a network is obtained by:

1. Setting all DC sources to zero

2. Replacing all capacitors by s/c equiv.

3. Redraw the network in more convenient and logical form

1/5: Common-Emitter (CE) Fixed-Bias Configuration

The input (Vi) is applied to the base and the output (Vo) is from the collector.

The Common-Emitter is characterized as having high input impedance and low output impedance with a high voltage and current gain.
