a. Testing \beta R_{E}>10 R_{2}.

(210)(0.68 kΩ) > 10(10 kΩ)

142.8 kΩ >100 kΩ (satisfied)

we have

V_{B}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}} V_{C C}=\frac{10 k \Omega}{90 k \Omega+10 k \Omega}(16 V )=1.6 V

 

V_{E}=V_{B}-V_{B E}=1.6 V -0.7 V =0.9 V

 

I_{E}=\frac{V_{E}}{R_{E}}=\frac{0.9 V }{0.68 k \Omega}=1.324 mA

 

r_{e}=\frac{26 mV }{I_{E}}=\frac{26 mV }{1.324 mA }= 1 9 . 6 4 \Omega

b. The ac equivalent circuit is provided in Fig. 5.34 . The resulting configuration is different from Fig. 5.30 only by the fact that now

R_{B}=R^{\prime}=R_{1} \| R_{2}=9 k \Omega

The testing conditions of r_{o} \geq 10\left(R_{C}+R_{E}\right) and r_{o} \geq 10 R_{C} are both satisfied. Using the appropriate approximations yields

Z_{b} \cong \beta R_{E}=142.8 k \Omega

 

Z_{i}=R_{B}\left\|Z_{b}=9 k \Omega\right\| 142.8 k \Omega

= 8.47 kΩ

c. Z_{o}=R_{C}=2.2 k \Omega

d. A_{v}=-\frac{R_{C}}{R_{E}}=-\frac{2.2 k \Omega}{0.68 k \Omega}=- 3 . 2 4
