Objective: Design an amplifier with improved Frequency Response ( CLO1, CLO2 [C4])
Assignment Details:
One of the key applications of MOSFET is in amplifier
design. Using the circuit shown in Fig.1, MOSFET can
amplify a small, time varying input signal. The two
conflicting requirements in amplifier design are its high
gain and large bandwidth. In this assignment, the main goal
is to design an amplifier with a specified gain and identify a
solution to improve its bandwidth.

Assignment Deliverables and Constraints:
Following are the assignment deliverables and constraints
1. Use Fig. 1 to design a single stage amplifier with a gain and low cut off frequency as follows
𝑅𝑜𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛 (𝐺𝑉 ) = 4 +
100
𝑅𝑜𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝐿𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓𝑓 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 (𝑓𝐿 ) = 200 + ( ) 𝐻𝑧
100
2. Find higher cutoff frequency (fH) using simulation OR hardware experiment.
3. Conduct a thorough literature review of how frequency response of a MOSFET amplifier can
be improved. List down their advantages and disadvantages.
4. Based on the above literature review, propose a new design to improve bandwidth of the
amplifier in Fig. 1. Provide a detailed analysis of how your proposed design works. Specify the
bandwidth improvement of your proposed design.
5. Explain the tradeoffs in the design of both amplifiers. Additionally in 1–2 pages, explain how
this assignment aligns with the following two United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(UN-SDGs):
SDG 4 – Quality Education: Discuss how this assignment enhances your practical and
analytical skills in engineering education through design, simulation, analysis, and research.
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Explain how the amplifier design task
promotes innovation in electronic circuit design and supports the development of modern
industrial technologies.
Support your discussion with examples from your work, such as circuit improvements, trade-
off analysis, and any insights gained through literature review or simulations.
Note: All questions have equal marks but they have to be attempted in order.
