Basic BJT Amplifier Configurations
There are plenty of texts around on basic electronics, so this is a very brief look at the
three basic ways in which a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) can be used. In each
case, one terminal is common to both the input and output signal. All the circuitsshown here are without bias circuits and power supplies for clarity.
Common Emitter Configuration
Here the emitter terminal is common to both the input and output signal. Thearrangement is the same for a PNP transistor. Used in this way the transistor has the
advantages of a medium input impedance, medium output impedance, high voltage
gain and high current gain.
Common Base Configuration
Here the base is the common terminal. Used frequently for RF applications, this stage
has the following properties. Low input impedance, high output impedance, unity (or
less) current gain and high voltage gain.
Common Collector Configuration

This last configuration is also more commonly known as the emitter follower. This isbecause the input signal applied at the base is "followed" quite closely at the emitter
with a voltage gain close to unity. The properties are a high input impedance, a very
low output impedance, a unity (or less) voltage gain and a high current gain. Thiscircuit is also used extensively as a "buffer" converting impedances or for feeding or
driving long cables or low impedance loads.

A "trickly" calculation is required to obtain the output impedance. To do so we
first shut off the input voltage and then apply test voltage source, vx , to the
output terminal. Under these circumstances, the current into the output
terminal is given by:
Therefore, the relatively low output impedance is given by:
while the relatively high input impedance is given by:
Small-signal modelFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Small signal)
Small-signal modeling is a common analysis technique in electrical engineering which is used to approximate
the behavior ofnonlinear devices with linear equations. This linearization is formed about the DCbias point of
the device (that is, the voltage/current levels present when no signal is applied), and can be accurate for small
excursions about this point.

Motivation
Many electronic circuits, such as radio receivers, communications, and signal processing circuits,
generally carry small time-varying signals on top of a constant bias. This suggests using a method akin to
approximation by differentials to analyze relatively small perturbations about the bias point.
Any nonlinear device which can be described quantitatively using a formula can then be 'linearized' about
a bias point by taking partial derivatives of the formula with respect to all governing variables. These
partial derivatives can be associated with physical quantities (such
as capacitance, resistance and inductance), and a circuit diagram relating them can be formulated. Small-
signal models exist forelectron tubes, diodes, field-effect transistors (FET) and bipolar transistors, notably
the hybrid-pi model and various two-port networks.
[edit]Variable notation
Large-signal DC quantities are denoted by uppercase letters with uppercase subscripts. For example,
the DC input bias voltage of a transistor would be denoted VIN.
Small-signal quantities are denoted using lowercase letters with lowercase subscripts. For example,
the input signal of a transistor would be denoted as vin.
Total quantities, combining both small-signal and large-signal quantities, are denoted using lower
case letters and uppercase subscripts. For example, the total input voltage to the aforementioned
transistor would bev
IN(t) =
VIN +
vin(
t).
[edit]Example: PN junction diodes
Main article: Diode modelling#Small-signal modelling
The (large-signal) Shockley equation for a diode can be linearized about the bias point or quiescent point
(sometimes called Q-point) to find the small-signal conductance, capacitance and resistance of the diode.
This procedure is described in more detail underdiode modeling, which provides an example of the
linearization procedure followed in all small-signal models of semiconductor devices.
[edit]Differences between Small Signal and Large Signal
A small signal model takes a circuit and based on an operating point (bias) it linearizes all the
components. Nothing changes because the assumption is that the signal is so small that the operating
point (gain, capacitance etc) doesn't change.

A large signal model on the other hand takes into account the fact that the large signal actually affects the
operating point and takes into account that elements are non-linear and that circuits can be limited by
power supply values. A small signal model ignores supply values.
Hybrid-pi modelFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hybrid-pi model is a popularcircuit model used for analyzing the small signal behavior of bipolar junction
and field effect transistors. The model can be quite accurate for low-frequency circuits and can easily be
adapted for higher frequency circuits with the addition of appropriate inter-electrode capacitances and other
parasitic elements.
Bipolar junction (BJT) parameters
The hybrid-pi model is a linearized two-port network approximation to the BJT using the small-signal
base-emitter voltage vbe and collector-emitter voltage vce as independent variables, and the small-signal
base current ib and collector current ic as dependent variables.[1]
