Question:
For the BJT amplifier circuit given in Figure 1, it has $V_{EE} = V_{CC} = 15$ V, $R_1 = 550 \Omega$, $R_1 = R_2 = 200 \text{ k}\Omega$, $R_E = 100 \text{ k}\Omega$, $R_C = 10 \text{ k}\Omega$, $R_{E1} = 50 \text{ k}\Omega$ and $R_{E2} = 150 \text{ k}\Omega$. Assume the transistor is with $V_{BE} = 0.7$ V, $V_A = 60$V, and $\beta = 100$, and the capacitors have infinite value. In your answers to the following parts, please express all fractional voltage and current values in mV and mA respectively up to two decimal places in your calculation.
(d) Calculate the DC power dissipation of each component of the circuit.
(e) Verify if the total DC power dissipated by the circuit computed in (d) is equal to the total power delivered by -$V_{EE}$ and $V_{CC}$.
(1) Without changing the transistor, suggest two effective ways to increase the voltage gain of this amplifier circuit. Please indicate the direction of change (increase or decrease) if your suggestions involve changes in component values.
