I'm trying to simulate a biased emitter follower in LTspice. The dc operating point seems to be wrong once I used a DC coupled sine input signal(zero offset, 5V amplitude, 60Hz), it is almost 0V at emitter follower's output. Once I place a capacitor between sine input and resistor divider(make the input signal ac coupled) the dc operating point makes sense, it is about 7.5V, half the supply voltage. I think there is no difference for a zero offset sine input signal to be ac or dc coupled. So why a DC coupled sine input signal will make my biased emitter follower looks like unbiased in LTspice? Is it just simulation behavior or in real life it actually behaves like this? [![enter image description here][1]][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/sjLLk.png
