Exercise 3.10 Bias issues within an antenna amplifier
See the circuit of an antenna amplifier [5], shown below.
-
a)
- Derive an expression for the bias collector current of
and .
The current gain of the BJTs is finite .
-
b)
- Calculate their bias currents numerically; assume that .
-
c)
-
is in parallel with .
Why is that? Why is
not decoupled? Note: this question is related to chapters 4 and 5.
