2. [25] Consider a cascade amplifier shown in Fig. 2 with parameters in Table 2. Assume
two FETs have identical characteristics and operate under the same bias condition as
each other.
A. [2] Design the required values of RD and RS. (*Don’t try to find the standard
commercial values. Leave them as they are after calculations.)
B. [3] Find the dc voltages, VC1, VC2, VC3, applied to the coupling capacitors. (*Follow
the voltage polarity shown in Fig. 2.)
C. [2] Calculate the trans-conductance (gm) at the bias point.
D. [9] Disconnect Rsig and RL , and calculate the no-load voltage gain(AvNL,mid=vo/vi),
input impedance(Zi,mid), and output impedance(Zo,mid) of the amplifier in the mid-
band frequency.
E. [3] Find the mid-band overall voltage gain Av,mid=vo/vs including Rsig and RL.
F. [3] Find all of the lower cut-off frequencies (rad/s) by s.c. time constant method.
G. [3] Find all of the upper cut-off frequencies (rad/s) by o.c. time constant method.
