Circuit Diagram for FETs as Amplifier.

1)

FET common source circuit

The standard implementation of the common drain or source follower / buffer circuit is
quite simple to build in practise. The circuit depicted above is an example of a FET source follower /
buffer circuit. C1 and C2 are capacitors that link the AC signal between stages while blocking the DC
components. The gate bias is provided by resistor R1, which keeps the gate at ground voltage. The
resistor R2 is connected to ground in the source circuit, and its value is controlled by the needed
channel current. The source follower circuit has a very high impedance to the previous stage, making
it a suitable configuration for use as a buffer.

Basic circuit MOSFET as amplifier

By adding a source, drain, load resistor, and coupling capacity to the aforementioned circuit,
a full MOSFET amplifier circuit may be created. The MOSFET amplifier's biassing circuit is seen above.
The voltage divider in the preceding biassing circuit serves primarily to bias a transistor in one
direction. As a result, this is the most often utilised biassing approach in transistors. It employs two
resistors to ensure that voltage is divided and distributed to the MOSFET at the appropriate levels. It
is achieved by connecting two parallel resistors R1 and R2. The coupling capacitors C1 and C2 in the
circuit shield the biassing DC voltage from the amplified AC signal. Finally, the output is connected to
a load generated by the RL resistor. VG = Vsupply x (R2/R1+R2) may be used to calculate the bias or
gate voltage. R1 and R2 values are typically big in this case to improve the amplifier's input
impedance and to decrease ohmic power losses.
