At low frequencies, we analyze transistor
using h-parameter. But for high frequency analysis the
h-parameter model is not suitable, because :-
(1) The value of h-parameters are not constant at high frequencies.
(2)At high frequency h-parameters becomes very complex
in nature
4. At low frequencies, we analyze transistor

frequencies.
(2)At high frequency h-parameters becomes very complex

5. • Hybrid- model is used for high frequency
analysis of the transistor.
• This model gives a reasonable compromise
between accuracy and simplicity to do high
frequency analysis of the transistor.
• So we can summaries the merits of hybrid-
model as; it is simple and accurate.
• The value of all parameters are constant with high
frequency and all the resistive components of this
model can be obtained from low frequency h-
parameters.
6. In the derivation of trans conductance gm and diffusion
capacitance Cde (≈Ce), it is assumed that Vbe changes so
slowly with time that in the base region, concentration of
minority carrier holes is along straight line from Je to Jc.
Thus the collector current Ie remains equal to the emitter
current IE and the base current is extremely small
compared with Ic.
VALIDITY OF HYBRID-∏ MODEL
7. Hence under dynamic condition, the hybrid-π model is
valid only when the rate of change of Vbe with time is so
small that the base current increment Ib is small in
comparison with the collector current increment Ie.
Giacoletto proved that the network elements in the
hybrid model are frequency invariant provided that
Since
2πf W2/6 DB<<1
But from previous sections we have Ce and Cde
Ce = gm/2πfT
Cde = W2gm/2DB
8. Thus we can reduce the previous equatio
f<<6πfT/2π
Or
f<<3fT
Thus we conclude that the hybrid-π model is valid for
frequency up to about fT/3 .
11. This model gives reasonable compromise b/w
accuracy and simplicity to do high frewuency
analysis of transistor.
Figure shows the hybrid- model for transistor in
CE configuration. For this model, All parameters
(resistances and capacitances) are assumed to be
independent of frequency. But they may vary with
the Q point or operating point.
18. The parameter gm is called trans conductance
(or mutual conductance). The trans conductance represents
the small change in collector current about the operating
point produced by the small changes in base emitter voltage .
This effect of change in collector current due to small change
in base-emitter voltage, accounts for the current generator gm Vb’c
at output and it is called as trans conductance.
gm=ΔIc/ΔVb’e
at a constant Vce.
20. Capacitance Cc :-
The collector-junction capacitance :-
Cc = Cbe
(The output capacitance measured at CB junction
with the input open, i.e. Ie = 0 and is specified by the
manufactures as Cob.)
Since in the active region the collector,junction is
reverse biased, then Cc is a transition capacitance,
and hence varies as Vcb where n is 1/2 or 1/3 for an
abrupt or gradual junction, respectively.
24. Hence the charge stored in the base region (QB) is given by
:-
QB =P'(0) *(A*W*q) / 2
Where
W = base width
A = cross-sectional area of base
AW = volume of base
q = electronic charge
Pʹ(0) = Injected charge concentration
Pʹ(0)/2 = Average concentration of carrier
in base region
QB = p’(0)*(v*q)/2
25. Thus ,
Aq = 2QB/P'(0)*W ………….(1)
Current density (J) = -qDp(dP/dx)
Where
Dp = diffusion constant
dp / dx = Change in concentration w.r.t. distance
Diffusion current :-
I = J.A
= - AqDp (dP'/dx)
= +AqDBP'(0)/W
(where , DB= diffusion constant for minority carrier)
26. Thus,
Aq = I*W / DB*P'(0) ……………………(2)
Equating both the equations :-
2QB/P'(0)*W = I*W/DB*P(O)
QB = I*W2/2DB ………………………....(3)
Finally,The static diffusion capacitance
Cde=dQB/dV
From above equation:-
Cde = dI*W2/ 2DB*Dv
= [W2/ re *2DB]
Where
re = emitter junction incremental resistance and is given by :-
re=dV/dl = VT/IE
27. Thus ,
Cde=[W2/2DB].[IE/VT]
Cde=gm.[W2/2DB] = Ce
This indicates that the Cde is proportional to the IE
and inversely proportional with VT. Cde is almost
independent of temperature.
Experimentally, Ce is determined from a
measurement of the frequency flat which the CE
short-circuit current gain drops to unity ;
Ce =gm/2πft
28. The equation for the trans conductance can be derived as
follows :
Let us consider a P-N-P transistor in the CE Configuration
with Vee bias in the collector circuit a shown in Fig.

Vbe VE

29. The trans conductance is defined as the ratio of change in the
collector current due to small changes in the voltage Vb’e
across the emitter junction.
We know that, the Collector current in active region is given
as
For a pnp transistor
Ic=Ico- IE
Also , Isc = gm Vb’e =Ic
or gm = dIc / dVb’e …….(1)
δIc= αδIE
Substituting values of δIC in eq (1) we get :-
gm= αdIE/ dVb’e
The emitter diode resistance is given as :-
1/re = dIE/dV
31. For P-N-P transistor Ic is negative and for an N-P-N
transistor Ic is positive, but in the foregoing analysis (with
VE = +VBE) we get
Hence, for either type of transistor gm is positive.
gm = α (IC -ICO) / VT
= α IC / VT
Substituting value of VT we get,
gm = 11600IC/T
Substituting/ the value of re in we get,
gm= αIE/VT = α ( Ico-Ic )/VT
32. Equation shows that trans conductance gm is inversely
proportional to temperature.
At room temperature, 300k
gm=11600Ic/300
= Ic/26*10-3
=Ic /26
This is for,
Ic=1.3mA, gm=0.05m mho
while for,
Ic=2.6mA, gm=0.1m mho
These values are much larger than the trans
conductance
obtained with FET’s
33. As discussed earlier, the high frequency analysis takes into
account the capacitive effect of PN Junction in transistor.
We can not assume at high frequency that transistor responds
instantly to changes of input voltage or current because the
mechanism of the transport of charge carrier from emitter to
collector is essentially one of diffusion.
The increase of hfe with temperature has been
determined experimentally, where as the increase with
|VCE| is due to the decrease of the base width and the
reduction in recombination which increase the transistor
‘Alpha’.
36. For calculating the resistance we are conidering the Hybrid ∏-
model in terms of low frequency H parameter aiso neglacting
the capacitance effect.
First consider the hybrid- model for CE Configuration:-
38. We know that hie is the input resistance (in h-parameter
model) when the output terminals i.e. collector terminals
are shorted. Under this condition in Hybrid - model, rb'c
comes in parallel with rb'e. But since rb'c »rb'e
rb’e || rb’c ≈ rb’e
:. With hybrid- model input resistance with output shorted
is rbb' + rb'e.
hie = rbb’ + rb’e
rbb’ = hie – rb’e
39. In h-parameter model, hre is defined as reverse voltage gain:
hre = Vb’e/Vce = rb’e /(rb’e + rb’c)
By applying voltage divider formula
hre rb’e + hre.rb’c = rb’e
rb’e(1-hre) = hre.rb’c
Since ;
hre <<1
rb’e = hre.rb’c
rb’c = rb’e / hre
Feedback Conductance
gb’c = hre*gb’e
46. Looking at the above fig.we can write
IL= -gmVb’e
And
Ii= Vb’e [ gb’e + jw (Cc+ Ce) ]
Current gain under short circuit condition is
AI = IL/ Ii
, = -gmVb’e / Vb’e [gb’e + jw (Cc+Ce) ]
AI = -hfe/[1 + j2f(Cc+Ce)/ gb’e] ………..Eq.(1)
AI =- hfe/[1 + jf/fβ]
47. Where
fβ =gb’e/ 2Π(Cc+Ce)
As we know
gb’e= gm/hfe
where
fβ = gm/ hfe 2Π(Cc+Ce) …………….. Eq.(2)
β- Cut-Off Frequency(fβ)
fβ is defined as the frequency at which CE short circuit
current gain falls (1/ 2)1/2 (or 0.707 or falls by 3 dB ) of
its low frequency value i.e. hfe.
48. So te value of hfe can be neglacted
because hfe >>1
The value of fβ can be
found out using expression
fβ= gm/2(Cc+Ce)
The frequency range up to fβ forms the 3 dB band width
or simply the band width of the circuit.
The Parameter(fT) :
Frequency fT is defined as the frequency at which CE
Short circuit current gain becomes unity.
at f= fT ,
49. AI becomes :
AI = 1= hfe/[1 +( fT/fβ)2 ] … eq.(3)
The ratio fT/ fβ, is quite large as compared to (fT/
fβ>>1)) hence Equation (1) becomes
1= hfe/ fT/fβ
substituting this value of
fβ= gm/ hfe2f(Cc+Ce)
therefore
fT = gm/2f(Cc+Ce) …. Eq.(4)
50. since Ce>>Cc we can write
So we can neglacted the value of Cc
fT = gm/ 2f Ce ……. Eq.(5)
fT as CE short circuit current gain bandwidth product:-
We know that,
fT = hfe*fβ
That is fT is the product of low frequency gain (hfe) and 3dB
bandwidth of short circuited CE stage (fβ) .
Hence fT represents the CE short circuit current gain-band
width product.
52. α-Cut-Off Frequency, fα
We have already seen β-cut-off frequency for transistor
operating in CE configuration. a cut off frequency is a
similar frequency for transistor operating in CB
configuration.
fα can be defined as the frequency at which the transistor's
short circuit CB current gain drops 3 dB or (1/2) times from
its value at low frequency hfb. The expression for fα is given
as:
fα = hfe*gb'e / 2Π*Ce ………….. Eq.(6)
56. As K = Vce/Vb’e
= ILRL/ Vb’e
= (-gmVb’e)RL/Vb’e
= -gmRL
So ;
1-K=1+ gmRL
Thus, AI = IL/ Ii
AI = -gmVb’e / Vb’e [gb’e + jwCeq ]
57. As we know
gb’e= gm/hfe
Thus ,
Ai = -gb’ehfe/[gb’e+ jwCeq ]
Ai = -hfe/[1 + j2Πf(Ceq)/ gb’e] ………..Eq.(1)
Ai= - hfe/[1 + jf/fH]
fH= gb’e/ 2 Πceq
=1/ 2Πrb’e[Ce+Cc(1 +gmRL)]
The simplified equivalent circuit is at RL= 0 :-
fH=1/ 2Πrb’e(Ce+Cc)= f
So the current gain = Ai = hfe / [ 1+(f /fh)2]1/2
= hfe / (2)1/2,
= 0.707 hfe
59. Rs’=Rs+rbb’=1/Gs’
By applying KCL at B’ & C, we get : -
Gs’Vs=[Gs’+gb’e+s(Ce+Cc)]Vb’e-sCcVo..(1)
0=(gm-sCc)Vb’e+({1/RL}+sCc)Vo……(2)
We know that the voltage gain is
By solving the equation 2 and find the value of
And put I in equation 1
Avs=Vo/Vs
Vb’e
Vb’e = ({1/RL}+sCc)Vo /(sCc-gm)
60. Vo/Vs= -Gs’RL(gm-sCc)/ s2CeCcRL +s[Ce+Cc+CcRL
(gm+gb’e+Gs’)]+Gs’+gb’e……eqn.(3)
By solving the quadratic equation
We get
Avs=Vo/Vs=K1(s-s0)/[(s-s1)(s-s2)…eqn.(4)
Where
K1=Gs’/Ce,
s0=gm/Cc
s1=Complex value
s2 =Complex value
63. fH =1/ 2ΠReqCeq
Req =(Rs+rbb’)||rb’e
Req=Rs rbb’rb’e/Rs+rbb’+rb’e
hie=rbb’+rb’e
Put the value of Req=(Rs+rbb’)rb’e/(Rs+hie)
fH = (Rs+hie)/2ΠC(Rs+rbb’)rb’e
Avs= Vo/Vs
=-gmVb’eRL/Is(Rs+rbb’+rb’e)
74. We know that low freq. gain of emitter follower is almost
unity. Therefore A=1;1-K=0;K-1/K=0, thus we can ignore
Ce(1-K),gb’e(K-1/K)and Ce(K-1/K).
The simplified ckt is: -
75. Voltage gain
A = Vo/Vi = Ve/Vi….............(1)
Ve=IZ
=I/(1/RL+jwCL)
=gmVb'e/((1+jwCLRL)/RL)
=gmRLVb'e/(1+jwCLRL)
=gmRL(Vi-Ve)/(1+jwCLRL)
Ve = gmRLVi/(1+jwCLRL)– gmRLVe /(1+jwCLRL )
Ve+VegmRL/(1+jwCLRL) =gmRLVi/(1+jwCLRL)
(Ve[(1+jwCLRL +gmRL)]) / (1
+jwCLRL)=gmRLVi/(1+jwCLRL)
77. If f = fH Then
Av = gm RL
√2 (1+gm RL)
Now, since the input impedance between
terminals B' and
C is very large in comparison with (rb'b + Rs).
Hence A,
also represents the over all voltage gain Avs:-
Avs = Ve / Vi
Avs= Ao/1+jf/fH
