Bias is direct current ( DC ) deliberately made to flow, or DC voltage deliberately applied, between two points for the purpose of controlling a circuit . In a bipolar transistor , the bias is usually specified as the direction in which DC from a battery or power supply flows between the emitter and the base.
Also, what is Q point?
The AC signal applied to them is superposed on this DC bias current or voltage. The operating point of a device, also known as bias point, quiescent point, or Q-point, is the steady-state (DC) voltage or current at a specified terminal of an active device (a transistor or vacuum tube) with no input signal applied.
What is meant by DC operating point?
The DC operating point (also known as bias point or Q-point) is the DC steady-state operating condition of a transistor, (with no AC input signal applied), determined by and of the input port, and and of the output port. The input current and voltage can be determined by.
What is the Q point of a diode?
Q-point is the so-called operating or quiescent point at which the diode operates. It is specific to the circuit in which the diode is a part so you need a schematic to answer the question. Typically, the circuit designer picks the q-point to operate the diode at a safe average current.
