The emitter bypass capacitor is connected across emitter resistance RE.

At mid-frequency and high

frequency, bypass capacitor provides very small capacitive reactance and this capacitor behaves as
short circuit. Hence, RE is bypassed and bypass capacitor has no effect on voltage gain. At low
frequency, capacitive reactance of a bypass capacitor has significant value and there is some voltage
drops across RE and CE and voltage gain is reduced.

When an emitter resistance is added in a CE (Common Emitter) amplifier, its voltage gain is reduced,
but the input impedance increases. Whenever bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with an
emitter resistance, the voltage gain of CE amplifier increases

Without CE bypass capacitor the amplifier gain is equal to RC||RLRE So, the gain is low if RE value is
large. The input impedance is also high R1||R2||(β∗RE). And by adding CE capacitor we "short" RE
for the AC signals and the gain increases to RC||RL∗40∗IC. But distortion will also increases.

The emitter resistor RE is used to enhance the stability of the DC bias with respect to variations in
the transistor parameters, and if it is not shorted out to AC signals it can have an effect on the AC
gain. So let's now remove the bypass capacitor CE, and reconsider the above analysis.

The DC analysis is important to know, the required power supply and its limits, the current
consumption and to be sure that all the devices in the circuit are working in the safe region
without exceeding their normal ratings. With the help of DC analysis, we come to know
about the reaction of circuit when it is simply turned on without applying any signal. We
come to know about minimum power required to drive the circuit and its limits and how
much current consumption is there.
From the AC analysis you can know the circuit cutoff frequency, the gain, any peaking will
show up in the frequency response.AC analysis gives u the output and other values when an
A.C supply is provided to the designed circuit. Basically,in ac analysis we should set all DC
sources to zero and replacing them by a short circuit equivalent and replace all capacitors by
a short circuit equivalent.
We need to include RE for good biasing in DC signals and eliminate it for AC signals.The
solution to include an emitter resistance and use a “bypass” capacitor to short it out for AC
signals. From this experiment we can know that capacitors pass AC current while blocking
DC current
