Current mirror faults caused by Early effect

Simple current mirror has one disadvantage: the output current varies with the output voltage variation, i.e. the output resistance of the circuit is not infinite. This happens because of the fact that at a given current of the transistor T2 the voltage Ube (base-to-emitter voltage) changes slightly depending on the collector voltage (the effect of Early) ...
