Module –I
Q no.1 a) Derive the following relations with respect to small signal operation of BJT:
i)Transconductance, ii) Voltage gain. (05M)
b) Explain the design constraints of a classical discrete-circuit biasing arrangement with circuit and relevant
equations. How does RE provide a negative feedback action to stabilize the bias current?(05M)
c) Design the bias network of the CS amplifier as shown in below figure (1) to establish a current IE = 1mA
using a power supply Vcc = +12V. The transistor is specified to have normal Beta value of 100. (Follow the rule of
thumb mentioned that one-third of the supply voltage to the voltage drops across R 2 and another one- third to the
voltage drop across Rc. Leaving for possible negative swing at the collector.(5M)
OR
