This chapter discusses field-effect transistor (FET) amplifiers and switching circuits. FET amplifiers are well-suited for applications that require amplifying low-level signals or communication receivers due to their high input resistance and low noise. FETs also have an advantage in some power amplifiers and switching circuits because biasing is simple. The chapter describes the common-source, common-drain, and common-base amplifier configurations for FETs, which are analogous to configurations for bipolar junction transistors. It notes that FETs are superior to BJTs for nearly all switching applications.

Because of their extremely high input resistance and low noise, FET amplifiers are a good choice for certain applications, such as • Amplifying low-level signals Communication receivers. • Advantage in certain power amplifiers and switching circuits because biasing is simple . •The standard amplifier configurations are Common-source (CS), Analogous to CE configurations of BJTs Common-drain (CD) Analogous to CC configurations of BJTs Common-base (CB), Analogous to CB configurations of BJTs. FETs are superior to BJTs in nearly all switching applications
