Intro to BJT Amplifier Circuits
In this Lecture, we will: Discuss how a BJT is used as a switch (use this as a frame of reference). Understand the concept of an analog signal and the principle of a linear amplifier. Learn about small signal models (such as the Hybrid Pi model) for the analysis of BJT linear amplifiers. Investigate how common-emitter and common-base BJT circuits can amplify a small, time-varying input signal.
