difference in betaac in Spice

When simulating the Spice-file below (a common emittor amplifier), I noticed that betaac determined by means of the voltage sources vmeasc and vmeasb differs from betaac which is shown in the operating point information: betaac=i(vmeasc)/i(vmeasb)=2.405e-2/7877e-05=305.319 whereas betaac from the operating point information = 332.486

can anyone here explain this?

Hello,

The internal collector current will be divided between the external Rc and and the internal Rce.

Rce = VAF/Ic

If you take this into account, the values are OK. You can check this if you omit VAF in the model or rise it to an extremely high value, e.g. to 5000.

Best regards, Helmut
