 II Discussion of Fundamentals
1a. Common Source (CS) Amplifier circuit

 FET is a Voltage – controlled device

 The CS Amplifier circuit includes the
characteristics:
• Has relatively high Voltage and
Current gain
• Input impedance is high Input
current is very small
Figure 1: Basic circuit for CS Amplifier
• Relatively high output impedance 6
 II Discussion of Fundamentals
1a. Common Source (CS) Amplifier circuit

 FET is a Voltage – controlled device

with three terminals G,D and S.
 Characteristics DC load line:
 The output signal is out of phase
with the input signal
