Use 2N3904 BJTs and use appropriate values for resistors (you can choose the values that will not lead to excessive gain and saturation) to demonstrate that the circuit provides differential amplification. Use Vcc = 5 and Vee = 5. Use a pair of sinusoids with opposing polarity (180 degree phase shift) as the inputs to the differential amplifier. Recall from the theory ic is needed to compute re. Make sure that the conditions set in the analysis of DIBO circuit are satisfied. Assume Rs1 = Rs2 50 Ω. Does your simulation match the theoretical gain? Explain any differences.arrow_forward
