For the amplifier of Fig. 3-10(a), let v_i = 0.25 \sin(2000πt) \text{V}, V_{CC} = 15 \text{V}, CC_1 = CC_2 = CC = 100 μF, R_1 = 6 kΩ, R_2 = 50 kΩ, R_C = R_L = 1 kΩ, and R_i = R_E = 100 Ω. The transistor is characterized by the model of Problem 5.4. Use SPICE methods to determine the CE hybrid parameters of (6.5) through (6.8) for this transistor at the point of operation.
Input resistance {h_{i e} \equiv \frac{\partial v_{B E}}{\partial i_{B}}\bigg|_{_{Q}} \approx \frac{\Delta v_{B E}}{\Delta i_{B}}\bigg|_{_{Q}}} (6.5)
Output admittance h_{o e} \equiv {\frac{\partial i_C}{\partial v_{C E}}}{\bigg|}_{Q} \approx {\frac{\partial\Delta i_{C}}{\Delta v_{C E}}}{\bigg|}_{Q} (6.8)
The netlist code below describes the circuit.
