[!TLDR]

Use the re′r_e' model of the CE amplifier: Av=Z0/re′=253.86A_v = Z_0/r_e' = 253.86, Ai=β=100A_i = \beta = 100, and Ap=AiAv=25386A_p = A_i A_v = 25386.

A common emitter amplifier gives both voltage and current amplification. In its AC (re′r_e') model the transistor's emitter diode is replaced by the AC resistance re′r_e' and the collector behaves as a current source, so the small-signal parameters become simple ratios of resistances.

Given: silicon transistor, IE=1.32 mAI_E = 1.32\,\text{mA}, β=100\beta = 100, RC=10 kΩR_C = 10\,\text{k}\Omega, RL=10 kΩR_L = 10\,\text{k}\Omega.

Step 1 — AC resistance of the emitter diode (silicon):

re′=26 mVIE=26 mV1.32 mA=19.69 Ωr_e' = \frac{26\,\text{mV}}{I_E} = \frac{26\,\text{mV}}{1.32\,\text{mA}} = 19.69\,\Omega

Step 2 — output impedance (collector load seen by the signal): …
