Discussion:

Using the measurements made in the procedure, calculate the quiescent current IE, and the internal emitter resistance re. The quiescent current IE and internal emitter resistance re can be calculated using the DC analysis carried out in Step#1 and Step#2 of the procedure. The DC voltage measured across RE is used to measure the biasing current across the emitter of BJT. The voltage is measured to be 793mV. Since RE = 1KΩ, so: IE=VERE=0.7931000=0.000793A=0.793mA.

Now, we can calculate the internal resistance of emitter using the formula provided in the procedure. So:

re=0.026IE=0.0260.000793=32.786Ω

Using the values obtained in the experiment; draw the small-signal ac equivalent circuit for the amplifier.

In this part, we will draw the small scale ...
