PART 1
Objective:
From the concept of small signal, all the time-varying signals shown
in Fig. 4 will be linearly related and are superimposed on dc values.
We can write (refer to notation given in Table 6.1)
and
and
or
where 1/rπ is equal to the slope of the iB–vBE curve, then we can
find rπ from
then
or
then
Slightly different form for the output of the equivalent circuit can
be also developed. We can relate the small-signal collector current
to the small-signal base current as

Fig. 14 (a) shows a circuit containing a pnp transistor. Here again, we see the
change of current directions and voltage polarities compared to the circuit
containing the npn transistor, and (b) is the ac equivalent circuit, with the dc
voltage sources replaced by an ac short circuit, and all current and voltages
shown are only the sinusoidal components.
