Data and Results


FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF COMMON SOURCE AMPLIFIER

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the experiment is to analyze and plot the frequency response of a single stage common source
amplifier using MOSFET.

EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS USED


30 MHz Dual Channel Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
3 MHz Function Generator
0-30 V dc dual regulated power supply
4 ½ digit Digital Multimeter
MOSFET BS170
Resistors, ¼ W
Capacitors
Breadboard and Connecting wires
BNC Cables and Probes

THEORY
• FETs are preferred over BJTs due to its high input resistance.
• In common source amplifier, the output voltage is taken at the drain and is 180 o out of phase with the
input.
• An unbypassed resistance between the source and ground reduces the voltage gain of FET amplifier
• A load resistance connected to the drain of a common source amplifier reduces the voltage gain.
• The voltage gain is largely determined by the transconductance gm and drain resistance RD.
PRELAB
1. Use SPICE tool to create a common source amplifier shown in figure1. Observe the dc operating
conditions.

2. Obtain a plot of the frequency response of the common source amplifier over the frequency range from 1
Hz through 1 MHz. Observe the gain and bandwidth.
