I am measuring BJT DC h parameters hie and hre, so I measured the common emitter input characteristic, Ib vs Vbe for various Vce.
For a given Vbe, Ib should drop with and increase in Vce due to the early effect, but I measure an increase in Ib with increasing Vbe. Does anyone know what mechanism might cause this? Might I have the wrong measurement setup?
