BASIC BJT AMPLIFIER

Transistor imply as amplifying device.
The output sinusoidal signal is greater than the
input of sinusoidal signal.
The output of AC power is greater than AC input.
Efficiency in amplification =Po(ac)/Pi(dc)
Superposition theorem is applicable for the
analysis of the DC and AC component of a BJT
network, permitting the separation of the
analysis of the DC and AC response of the
system

AC SMALL SIGNAL ANALYSIS

Setting all DC source to zero and
replacing them by short circuit
equivalent.
All capacitor become short-circuit.
Rearrange in logical form.
Equivalent AC model :re model,
hybrid model and hybrid equivalent
model.
Find Amplifying Gain.
