Hybrid expression
Expression can be obtained from the general hybrid formulas derived in this article
HYBRID EQUIVALENT OF TRANSISTOR[1] by adding a second subscript letter b
(which stands for commonbase) with the h-parameters and are as discussed below.
Current Gain
It is given by the relation,
Ai = -(hfb/(1 + hob.rL))
Where rL is the A.C load resistance. Its value is equal to the parallel combination of

Input Resistance
The resistance looking into the amplifier input terminals (i.e. base of a transistor) is
given by the relation,
Ri = hib + hrb.Ai.rL = hib ((hrb.hfb)/(hob + (1/rL)))
The input resistance of the amplifier stage (called stage input resistance Ris) depends
upon the biasing arrangement. For a fixed bias circuit, the stage input resistance is,
Ris = Ri
Voltage Gain
It is given by the relation,
Av = Ai.r1/Ri
Since the current gain (Ai) of a common base amplifier is positive, therefore the
voltage gain (Av) is also positive. It means that there is no phase difference between
the input and output signals of the common base amplifier. The voltage gain, in terms
of h-parameters, is given by the relation.
Av = hfb.rL/(hib + h.rL)
Where
h = hib.hob hrb.hfb
Output Resistance
The resistance looking into the amplifier output terminals is given by the relation,
Ro = (Rs + hib)/(Rs.hob + h)
Where

Example
A transistor used in a common base amplifier has the following vaules of hparameters:
hib = 28 , hfb = -0.98, hrb = 5 x 10-4 and hob = 0.34 X 10-6 S
Calculate the values of input resistance, output resistance, current gain and voltage
gain, if the load resistance is 1.2 K. Assume source resistance as zero.
Solution
Given Data:
hib = 28
hrb = 5 x 10-4
hob = 0.34 x 10-6 S

rL = 1.2 K
Rs = 0
Output resistance
Ro = (Rs + hib) / (Rs.hib + h) = hib/h -------------(as Rs = 0)
= 28/5 X 10-4 = 5.5 X 10-4 = 56 K Ans.
