Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Something about negetive feedback ?
Is this stabilization is instead active bias ?

Therefore Ic (Collector current) raises. This current flows through RE and as a result the voltage drop on RE increases - Ve becomes higher. Vb is usually kept constant in common emitter topology (By means of a voltage divider), hence Vbe decreases, which turns the BJT more to off state and reduces the Ic.
This mechanism can be used instead of active bias.
