INTRODUCTION
The BJT as a circuit element operates various circuits with many major
and minor modifications.
For the analysis of such circuits, we obtain the various conditions for
proper operation of the device, and also determine the projected range of
operation of the device.
A detailed study of the device in a two-port mode simplifies the circuit
analysis of the device to a large extent.
Thus, we calculate the various parameters of the devices performance,
namely voltage gain, current gain, input impedance, and output impedance.
The frequency response of the device is dealt with in detail, and a study
of the various regions of operation in the frequency scale is also explained.
Finally, we will discuss the various configurations of the device and take
a look into the high-frequency operation of the device and its performance
in those regions.
BIASING AND BIAS STABILITY
Biasing refers to the establishment of suitable dc values of different currents
and voltages of a transistor.
Through proper biasing, a desired quiescent operating point of the transistor
amplifier in the active region (linear region) of the characteristics is obtained.
The selection of a proper quiescent point generally depends on the following
factors:
(a) The amplitude of the signal to be handled by the amplifier and distortion
level in signal
(b) The load to which the amplifier is to work for a corresponding supply
voltage
The operating point of a transistor amplifier shifts mainly with changes in
temperature, since the transistor parameters , ICO and VBE (where the
symbols carry their usual meaning)are functions of temperature.
