Loading Effect

All practical sources have finite internal resistance. Loading effect can be defined as the effect on the source by the
load impedance. Usually loading effect reduces the voltage level of a voltage source. Amplifier input impedance are
calculate taking both the bias resistances (R1, R2) and the transistor input (i.e. base input resistance), βr'e.

This equation is valid for any amplifier.

RG = 600Ω, Also r'e = 22.72 and AV = 117 is known from the previous example.
