Theory
Amplification is the process of increasing strength of a signal. Amplifiers are devices that
provide amplification without altering the original signal JFETs are frequently used as amplifier.
They are voltage-controlled devices. They have low power consumption than BJTs. They have
very high input impedance. They are unipolar and have fast switching speed.
Common source JFET amplifier yes junction field effect transistor as its main active device
offering high input impedance characteristics. We used N-type JFET but we can also use N-
channel D-MOSFET. In this configuration input is applied between gate and source junction and
output is taken from drain to source junction.

Operation of common source Amplifier
The amplifier circuit consist of an N Channel JFET. The JFET gate voltage Vg are biased
through voltage divider circuit setup by R1 and R2 and is biased to operate within saturation
region of BJT.JFET takes no input gate current allowing gate to be treated as open circuit. Since
JFET is normally ON a negative voltage with respect to source are required to modulate I'd. This
negative voltage is given by separate power supply or self-biased arrangement.
In given circuit the input signal produces a voltage fall at gate and as well as voltage roses gate
with sinusoidal signal.
