The approximate value of input impedance of a common emitter amplifier with emitter resistance Re is given by—
-
- hie + Ai Re
- hie + (1 + hie) Re
- hie
- (1 + hie) Re
Correct Option: B
The equivalent h-parameter model of a common emitter amplifier with emitter resistance Re is given by: (i.e., fig-1)
however the approximate h-parameter model is given by (i.e., fig-2)
From above figure the approximate value of input impedance.
Ri = | ib |
Applying KVL in the input loop, we get
Vi – hie ib – i e Re = 0
or Vi/ – hie ib – (i b + i c) Re = 0
or Vi – hie ib – (i b + hfeib) Re = 0 or Vi = [hie + (1 + hfe) Re] i b
or = | = Ri = hie + (1 + hfe) Re | ib |
Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.
