High frequency analysis of MOSFET

1. Common source amplifier at high frequencies:

This increase in input capacitance Ci over the capacitance from gate to source is called Miller effect.

 This input capacitance affects the gain at high frequencies in the operation of cascaded amplifiers. In cascaded amplifiers, the output from one stage is used as the input to a second amplifier. The input impedance of a second stage acts as a shunt across output of the first stage and Rd is shunted by the capacitance Ci.

Output Admittance:

 From above figure, the output impedance is obtained by looking into the drain with the input voltage set equal to zero. If Vi = 0 in figure, rd , Cds and Cgd in parallel. Hence the output admittance with RL considered external to the amplifier is given by,
