@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)).

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.

Choose Rs and Cs because that is for Low-pass.

And based on the question we need a Low cut-off frequency. so the formula must be 1/(2*π*RC) wherein R=(Rs||(1/gm)).

@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.

The cut off frequency at Cs.

f=1/2π*(Rs II 1/gm)*Cs.

Pulls said:   1 decade ago
f = 1/2*pi*(rsi+rg)*cg formula can be used.
