Consider the BJT amplifier circuit given below with the following parameters : d.c. current gain \beta_{\text{dc}} = a.c. current gain \beta_{\text{ac}} = 100 \text{I}_\text{B} = 20\ \mu\text{A} for \text{V}_\text{B} = 0\cdot 7\text{ V}, and \text{i}_\text{b} = \pm 2\ \mu\text{A} for \text{v}_\text{i} = \pm 10\text{ mV}. Determine the values of \text{V}_{\text{CE}}, input impedance and voltage gain \text{A}_\text{v}.
