Introduction
• We now begin to examine the ac response of the BJT amplifier by
reviewing the models most frequently used to represent the
transistor in the sinusoidal ac domain.
• Magnitude of the input signal
• small-signal or large-signal techniques
• Three models commonly used in the small-signal ac analysis
• re model,
• Hybrid pi model
• Hybrid equivalent model
AMPLIFICATION IN THE AC DOMAIN
• Transistor can be employed as an amplifying device.
• output sinusoidal signal is greater than the input sinusoidal signal
• the output ac power is greater than the input ac power
• Conservation of energy
• total power output system cannot be greater than its power input
• the efficiency defined by η = Po/Pi cannot be greater than 1.

BJT TRANSISTOR MODELING
The hybrid parameters as shown in Fig. are derived from the specification sheet for the 2N4400
transistor. The values are provided at a dc collector current of 1 mA and a collector-to-emitter
voltage of 10 V.
THE HYBRID EQUIVALENT MODEL
• The description of the hybrid equivalent model will begin with the
general two-port system of Fig. 5.93 . The following set of equations
(5.133) and (5.134) is only one of a number of ways in which the four
variables of Fig. 5.93 can be related.
THE HYBRID EQUIVALENT MODEL
• The parameters relating the four variables are called h-parameters ,
from the word “hybrid.”
• The term hybrid was chosen because the mixture of variables ( V and I
) in each equation results in a “hybrid” set of units of measurement
for the h -parameters.

Ebers-Moll Model
• Device modelling aims at relating physical device parameters to
device characteristics.
• Important for integrated circuits. (Predict performance)
• More accurate -> More complex.
• Trade off between accuracy and complexity.
Ebers-Moll Model
• Transistor model describes operating states of a transistor.
• Information about the de characteristics of transistor.
• Active region
• Emitter junction is forward biased and collector junction is reverse biased.
Ebers-Moll Model
• The dependence of the currents in a transistor upon the junction
voltages, or vice-versa may be obtained by starting with Eq,
