 Introduction
Small Scale vs Large Scale Analysis

Equivalent Model:
A model is an equivalent circuit that represents the AC characteristics of the
transistor.
A model uses circuit elements that approximate the behavior of the transistor.

There are three methods for small-signal ac analysis of the

transistor network:

The re model
The hybrid PI model
Hybrid equivalent model

 Amplification in the ac Domain
Efficiency =P0/Pi
The output sinusoidal signal is greater than the input signal, i.e;
the output power is greater than input ac power.

How the ac power output can be greater than its power input?
An ac power output greater than the input ac power is only due
to dc power.

Conversion efficiency=P0(ac)/Pi(dc)
Where P0(ac) is the ac power to the load
Pi(dc) is the dc power supplied

iac(p-p)>>ic(p-p)
Peak to peak value of the output current far exceeds that of the
control current.
 Amplification in the ac Domain
The superposition theorem is applicable for the analysis and design of
the dc and ac components of a BJT network, permitting the separation of
the analysis of the dc and ac responses of the system.

Steady current established by a dc supply.

 BJT Transistor Modeling
A model is a combination of circuit elements, properly chosen, that best
approximation the actual behavior of a semiconductor device under
specific operating conditions.

Transistor circuit examination in this introductory discussion.

 BJT Transistor Modeling

By removal of the dc supply and insertion of the short-circuit equivalent for the capacitors.
 BJT Transistor Modeling
The ac equivalent of a network is obtained by:
1. Setting all dc sources to zero and replacing them by a short-circuit equivalent.
2. Replacing all capacitors by a short-circuit.
3. Removing all elements bypass by the short-circuit equivalents.
4. Redrawing the network in a more convenient and logical form.

 The re Transistor Model
BJTs are basically current-controlled devices, therefore the re
model uses a diode and a current source to duplicate the behavior
of the transistor.

One disadvantage to this model is its sensitivity to the DC level.

This model is designed for specific circuit conditions.
