Hello.

I'm trying to find the gain of an CE current amplifier.
I did the following and I was hoping you could help me understand where this error comes from.
Thank you.

PS.
I also tried filling 'I(RL)' in the 'To Output Variable' field, but received the same error.

 

anyone please?

 

The current meter I2 is shorting the base to ground.
Your transistor does not have a collector load resistor in series with its collector to the positive power supply.
Your transistor is saturated with a base current that is only 18% of its collector current.
The 1k load resistor is missing a capacitor coupling the transistor's signal to it.

 

his collector load is a constant current source (infinite ac impedance).

the biasing is done via another current source.

v2/v3 are not needed but they do no harm either.

you don't have to have a capacitor to the load.

the issue here is that orcad does not do current dc gain. it is voltage only.

 

Oh I see, I guess it doesnt calculate transconductance neither (tried it out also and received the same error).

Thank you very much.
