It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier ...
Emitter/source degeneration is a technique used to guard against drift in transistor parameters like beta. In addition, it helps linearize the small signal output. The transfer characteristic of a BJT ...
PartSim is used in this example to simulate the Common Emitter Amplifier. The base bias voltage is set with the voltage divider arrangement. The input signal is amplified by the 2N2222 NPN transistor.
