Conclusion:
In this experiment of common drain as an amplifier there is no amplification in output signal as
compared to input signal. Although source follower configuration by itself has voltage gain less
than unity it can used for improving the gain of the larger Amplifier system. Because of its large
input resistance it does not load the output of another Amplifier. Also Source follower has small
output resistance the Source follower can derive a heavy load whose presence would otherwise
reduce the voltage gain. For these reasons Source follower is valuable as an intermediate stage
between amplifier and load.

Conclusion:
In this experiment of Common Gate as an amplifier when we apply sinusoidal
input signal of 20mv(peak-to-peak) we obtain an amplified signal at the output of the Amplifier.
We obtain amplified signal at the output of the amplifier and also Amplified output signal is in
phase with input signal. Interesting fact is that although common gate configuration provides
amplified signal that is in phase with the input signal but voltage gain is somewhat less in common
gate configuration as compared to common Source configuration. In Short when we use common
source as Amplifier we obtain an amplified signal at the output of the amplifier without any phase
inversion.
