(a) For transistor parameters \(\beta=80\) and \(V_{A}=100 \mathrm{~V}\), (i) design the circuit in Figure P6.17 such that the dc voltages at the base and collector terminals are \(0.20 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(-3 \mathrm{~V}\), respectively, and (ii) determine the small-signal transconductance function \(G_{f}=i_{o} / v_{s}\).

(b) Repeat part (a) for \(\beta=120\) and \(V_{A}=80 \mathrm{~V}\).
