Procedure
A. Theoretical Analysis
Given
the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, calculate the BJT voltage-divider biased
DC parameters (VB, VC, VE, VCE, VBE,
VCEQ,IB,Ic,IE, and ICQ)
with assumption hFE = 50. Enter the calculated values in Table 1 on the
worksheet.

Note:
VB, VC, VE are referred to point voltages, and
they are quantified with respect the circuit reference (i.e., ground); while, VCE,
VBE,are known as voltage drop across two points.

4. Connect the input (Vin) and output (Vout) of the
amplifier to two separate channels of an oscilloscope.
5. Connect the input (Vin) of the amplifier to a function
generator and set the parameters of the functions generator to: (a) sine-wave
mode at 1 kHz, and (b) amplitude of signal to 0.5 V peak-to peak (VPP).
If the output signal (Vout) is clipped, reduce the input signal amplitude
until the clipping no longer exists. A typical scope display is shown in Figure
3.
