Design the bias circuit of the CE amplifier given in the below figure (Figure 2). Let the current through Re is 50 mA, Vcc = +10V, and β = 150.
Figure 2
Find the values of resistors (Re, Rb, and Rc) required to achieve a collector current of 0.5 mA. Compute the transistor amplifier gain (Av) and the small-signal output voltage (Vce) if the early voltage is 100 V and v = -0.25 cos(5000t) V. (Hint: You can use the Thumb rule for solving this problem)
