BUT small signal model.
The Q— point of an operating transistor is set by the dc values. These values do not enter into an
incremental mode! which is used only to find smal signal (ac) variations about the@ point
Equivalent circuit of the transistor (small signals) is used to determine the analysis of a practical
circuit. The response of the circuit can be determined by branch - current analysis, mesh analysis
fhodal and Thenin theorem.
The magnitudes of the variables of interest in the transistor characteristic are that of current [and
voltage V. The ratios of these variables give the quantities called Hybrid parameters. The
parameters may have different dimensions. Transistor as a two port-system. i Shown iy hg 3-26
