UNIT-I
h11 = hie - The input impedance of the transistor (corresponding to the emitter resistance
re).Unit ohms Ώ.
h22 = hoe - The output impedance of transistor. This term is usually specified as admittance and
has to be inverted to convert it to impedance. Units’ siemans S.
2. Define amplifier
A device which accepts an input signal and produces an output signal proportional to the
input is called an amplifier.
8. What is biasing?
To use the transistor in any application it is necessary to provide sufficient voltage and
current to operate the transistor. This is called biasing.
15. Write the CE amplifier Current gain, Voltage gain, Input Impedance, Output Impedance in terms
of h-parameters.
The common collector transistor amplifier configuration is called as voltage follower. Since it has
unity voltage gain and because of its very high input impedance. It doesn’t draw any input current
from the
signal. So, the input signal is coupled to the output circuit without making any distortion.
The salient features of hybrid parameters are, a. h parameters are real numbers,
c. They are convenient to use in circuit analysis and design d. Easily convertible from one
configuration to other
b. A transistor behaves as a two port network for small signals only, hence h parameters can be used
to analyze only the small signal amplifiers.
20. Give the condition for analyzing the simplified Hybrid model of the transistor amplifier?
The following condition should be satisfied for analyzing the simplified hybrid model of transistor
amplifier.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
10. Why an NPN transistor has a better high frequency response than the PNP transistor?
An NPN transistor has a better frequency response than the PNP transistor because the
mobility of electron is more and capacitive effect is less.
11. For an amplifier, midband gain is 100 and lower cut off frequency is 1kHz. Find the gain of
an amplifier at the frequency of 20Hz.
A = (Amid)/( (1+(f1/f2)2))
A = (100)/( (1+(1000/20)2)) = 2
14. Write the relation between the bandwidth and rise time of an amplifier

Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of percentage change in voltage gain with feedback to
the percentage change in voltage gain without feedback.

7. Give an example for voltage-series feedback.
The Common collector or Emitter follower amplifier is an example for voltage
series feedback.
17. What is the minimum value of hfe required for self sustained oscillations?
