BJT Biasing Configurations

Conceptually simple, but impractical biasing configurations:

Single power supply biasing configuration:

By simple analysis we see that
Therefore
and so we must have
 
Dual power supply biasing configuration:
Again by simple analysis we see that
and so for stability we must have

Biasing with current sources:

"Current Mirror" bias source:
