BJT bias point - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Can anyone explain how the Emitter resistance RE stablize the DC bias Point ? ( commom emitter ).

Something about negetive feedback ?

Is this stabilization is instead active bias ?

RE is used as a negative feedback.
The current gain of Beta increases with the operating temperature of the BJT. 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.
