Transistor Amplifier Circuits Unit 2 – Common Base Circuit
Proper biasing of a CB transistor circuit can be provided by a connection between the base
terminal and a voltage divider circuit across a single dc power supply.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
active region - the region on the transistor load line between the saturation point and the cutoff
point.
Q-point (quiescent point) - the dc steady state operating point set by the dc bias conditions.
cutoff point - the point on the load line where the collector current is essentially zero.
saturation point - the point on the load line where the collector current is maximum.
