Small signal: only 10% or less variation in IC

For the forward active region with fig. 5.13

The simple biasing is not used much in practice due to unstable variations in parameters

For fig 5.15

This circuit is still of little practical value.

The base voltage Vx is always lower than the collector voltage.
