What is the real reason that base biased transistors are affected more by changes in beta than emitter biased transistors? I think you misunderstood what Boylestad and Nashelsky wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n “the Q-point shift caused by temperature is more pronounced in base bias topologies because there is only one forward-biased junction in the base bias configuration, which makes it more sensitive to temperature fluctuations,”<\/strong><\/p>\n All transistor amplifiers have only one forward-biased PN junction — the base-emitter junction. The collector-base junction is always reverse biased. This does not affect stability. What is really happening?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Emitter-feedback bias has the additional benefit of doing away with the separate biasing resistor that base bias systems frequently ask for.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Base bias circuits always have a base resistor, but no emitter resistor.<\/strong><\/p>\n Emitter bias circuits usually have an emitter resistor, but no base resistor. The number of components is the same, so a lower component count is not an “improvement”.
