[20\%] The n-channel MOSFET in the circuit below is at the DC operating point of ID?=1mA,VDS?=1V and VGS??VTN?=0.2V. The transistor has negligible channel length modulation effect and body effect, i.e., ?=0 and ?=0. The two coupling capacitors have infinite capacitance. Rx?=10k?,RS?=10k?, RD?=20k? and RL?=20k?. a) Identify the circuit as a common-source, common-drain or common-gate amplifier. ( 2%) b) Calculate the small-signal parameter gm? and the current efficiency gm?/ID? of the transistor. (3\%) c) The gate of the transistor in this circuit is an AC ground although no capacitor is used. Why? (2\%) d) Draw a small-signal AC equivalent of the circuit. The transistor must be represented by its smallsignal equivalent circuit. (6%) e) Find the overall small-signal AC current gain iL?/ix??(7%)
