Two Port Model (CE)

Modeling simplifies analysis KVL, KCL, etc Replace BJT with resistors and sources Allows for traditional electrotech analysis
Capacitors are considered shorts Voltage supply shorted to ground Impedances modeled as resistors Controlled current supply models BJT operation

Changing bias configuration just adds more resistors

Common Emitter: Proving Zi = re

Vi V be Zi = = Ib Ib

V be = I e r e = ( I c + I b ) r e = ( I b + I b ) r e = ( + 1) I b r e
V be ( + 1) I b r e Z i= = = ( + 1) r e r e Ib Ib

Finally, ro
ro = VCE / IC Depends upon biasing and amount of change in VCE Ranges between few hundred ohms to 50k In many cases can be ignored (RC >> ro) For our purposes: ro = 50k

Two Port Model for Fixed Bias

Examine the CE Two Port model with added biasing resistors Short Capacitors Tie supply to ground Replace transistor with two port model Use Voltage Divider, etc to find A, Zi, Zo
