Main components
1README
README.md📕️ Overview
The Single-stage amplifiers project involves the design, simulation, and experimental validation of single-stage amplifier circuits using bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs). The main objective is to compare theoretical small-signal and biasing calculations with actual laboratory measurements.

Questions
How big is the LabEA1 PCB?
It measures 45.1 × 101 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LabEA1 use?
81 parts, built around the SMAJ12A. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the LabEA1 KiCad files?
From the Danmuse/Lab_EA1_FRBA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Design/LabEA1/LabEA1.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB Design/LabEA1/LabEA1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LabEA1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Danmuse before reusing the design.
