### Analyzing a Transistor Circuit

For the circuit shown, assume that Vo = 3V and that the transistor is described as follows:
- β = 100
- Va = 100V
- VT = 0.025V

#### Tasks:
a) Determine the small signal parameters for the transistor.
b) Draw the small signal model.

#### Circuit Diagram Description:
- The circuit consists of a PNP transistor connected to a voltage source (5V).
- A 4KΩ resistor is connected to the collector of the transistor.
- A 300µA current source is connected in parallel with the voltage at the collector, indicated as Vo.
- The base of the transistor is labeled as Vin, which is the input voltage.
- The emitter of the transistor is connected to ground through a 625Ω resistor.
- There is also a capacitor (C) connected in parallel with the 625Ω resistor to ground.

#### Steps for Solving the Tasks:

**For task a:** Determine the small signal parameters for the transistor.
1. **Small signal current gain (β):** The given β = 100.
2. **Transconductance (gm):**
   \[
   I_C = 300\mu A 
   \]
   \[
   V_T = 0.025V 
   \]
   \[
   g_m = \frac{I_C}{V_T} = \frac{300 \times 10^{-6} A}{0.025V} = 0.012 \, S 
   \]
3. **Output resistance (ro):**
   \[
   V_A = 100V 
   \]
   \[
   ro = \frac{V_A}{I_C} = \frac{100V}{300 \times 10^{-6} A} = 333.33 \, k\Omega 
   \]

**For task b:** Draw the small signal model

The small signal model will include:
- **gm*vbe:** A current source in series with the collector-emitter path, representing the small signal current.
- **ro:** Resistor ro connected from collector to emitter.
- **Small signal input (vin) to base:** The voltage applied to the base.
- **Re (625Ω) bypassed by capacitor (C):** In small signal analysis, the capacitor can be seen as a short circuit for AC signals, so the emitter will have
