* INSTRUCTIONS--1-dB COMPRESSION POINT OF OUTPUT STAGE:\n-Replace output-stage circuit with your own design.\n-Change RTH resistance to the estimated value of the Thevenin \n equivalent output resistance of your gain stage.\n-Change VTH voltage to the estimated value of the voltage bias\n at the output of your gain stage.\n-Run simluation.\n-Open Error Log (View->SPICE Error Log)\n-Right-mouse-click on Error Log\n-Select "Plot .step'ed .meas data"\n-Right-mouse-click on Plot Window\n-Select "Add Plot Pane"\n-Right-mouse-click on lower plot pane\n-Select "Add Traces"\n-Left-mouse-click "gain"\n-Left-mouse-click OK\n-Right-mouse-click on plot title "gain" and change this statement\n to "20*log10(gain)"\n-Right-mouse-click on upper plot pane\n-Select "Add Traces"\n-Left-mouse-click "vOUTrms"\n-Left-mouse-click OK\n-Right-mouse-click on plot title "vOUTrms" and change this statement\n to "20*log10(vOUTrms/1m)"\n-Right-mouse-click on axes label "vSIG" and change this statement\n to "20*log10(vsig/(1m*sqrt(2)))"\n-To save these plot settings, select "Plot Settings-->Save Plot Settings"\n (you will need to close the plot window and open a new one after running \n another simultation; it does not automatically update)\n-Determine the input 1-dB compression point value of vSIG--where the gain\n deviates by 1-dB\n-Determine the correpsonding output 1-dB compression point value of \n 20*log10(vOUTrms/1m)"\n-Ensure that your output 1-dB compression point meets the specification.\n \nINSTRUCTIONS--TRANSIENT CURRENT CONSUMPTION:\n-Place cursor over output node of VCC.\n-Left-mouse click to plot I(VCC).\n-Left-mouse click on collector or drain node of a transistor to plot \n its transient collector current.\n-Ensure that the value does not exceed the current rating of transistor.\n \nINSTRUCTIONS--QUIESCENT CURRENT CONSUMPTION\n-Comment-out the .tran, .step, and .meas SPICE directives by \n hovering cursor over directive and right-mouse-clicking.\n If ".meas Statement Editor" window appears left-mouse-click "Cancel."\n-Run simulation.\n-A DC operating point window will appear; the value of I(Vcc) is your \n quiescent current consumption.\n \nADDITIONAL NOTE:\nTo place an additional voltage node label, right-mouse-click on a circuit node\nafter running simulation then left-mouse-click on "Place .op Data Labe" (sic).
* DESIGN STRATEGY:\n-Simulate for an small-signal input voltage range that is multiplied by the gain factor of the common emitter stage\n-Set RTH to output resistance of common emitter stage (estimate: RC1)\n-Adjust VTH so that DC voltage at base of Q2 equals DC output voltage of common emitter stage.\n-Adjust RE2 and RE3 for desired DC levels at base and emitter of Q3\n-Circuit will have a voltage gain of less than unity. Important characteristic is dynamic range.
