f = 1/2*pi*(rsi+rg)*cg formula can be used.

Lily said:   8 years ago
RG should be 1M ohms.

@Pulls.

The formula gives D as answer when RG is taken as 1M ohms.

f=1/2π*Req*Cs.

where:
Req= Rs II 1/gm.

Ans. 238.73.

Paul said:   7 years ago
The cut off frequency at Cs.

f=1/2π*(Rs II 1/gm)*Cs.

What's the value of gm?

Erwin John said:   6 years ago
@John.

For gm, get the value of current Id first. Use the formula:

Id = Idss (1- (Vgs/Vp))^2 but replace Vgs with -Id(Rs).

Then you will get two values of Id. Choose the lower value which is equal to 2mA.
The lower value of Id means that the FET is operating below the zero bias current, Idss.

Get Vgs using the formula Vgs = -Id(Rs).

And use this formula to get gm.
gm = (2Idss/|Vp|)(1-(Vgs/Vp)).

How to calculate gm, Vgs, Id? Explain.

How to calculate voltage gain, z input impedance and output impedance?

Cleokaze said:   5 years ago
I still don't understand.

The largest of three cutoff frequencies are 159154.9431Hz which is near the input coupling capacitor. Then why did we choose the 238.73Hz? Please explain in detail.
