Use of h – parameters to describe a transistor have the
following advantages.
h – parameters are real numbers up to radio
frequencies
They are easy to measure
They can be determined from the transistor static
characteristics curves.
They are convenient to use in circuit analysis and
design.
Easily convert able from one configuration to other
Readily supplied by manufactories

For finding voltage gain, current gain, input impedance,
output impedance h parameter equations are
vbe = hie ib + hre vce --------------------------------(1)
ic = hfe ib + hoe vce---------------------------------- (2)

 MILLER’S THEOREM
Miller’s theorem states that when a resistance ( or capacitance ) is connected across input and
output terminals, the same can be replaced by two independent resistances ( or capacitances )
connected one across the input terminals and the other across output terminals.
These are called Miller equivalent resistances ( or capacitances).

 comparing equations (1) and (2), the same current i will flow through a resistance R
when it is between input terminal and ground. Therefore, the KCL at the input terminal is
not affected by replacing the resisitance R by R is called Miller equivalent resistance
on the input side.

 Dual of Miller’s Theorem
 Consider a general amplifier as shown below. In this amplifier, the resistance R is common to the
input and output circuits do not have a common resistance.
The purpose of the following analysis is to remove the inter dependence of input and output
circuits. So that either input circuits or output circuits can be solved independently
Applying KVL to input circuit
