Explain briefly about AC Bias Operation with DC Load line analysis. 

2.4.2 AC Bias operation
When an input ac signal is applied to the amplifier of Fig. 2.5 , the output will vary from its DC bias
operating voltage and current. A small input signal, as shown in Fig. 2.5 , will cause the base current
to vary above and below the DC bias point, which will then cause the output collector current to
vary from the DC bias point set as well as the collector-emitter voltage to vary around its DC bias
57
value. As the input signal is increased, the output will vary further around the established DC bias
point until either the current (or voltage) reaches a limiting condition. For the current this limiting
condition is either zero current at the low end or Vcc > Rc at the high end of its swing. For the
collector-emitter voltage, the limit is either 0V or the supply voltage Vcc.
