Goal of this lecture
At the end of this lecture the student:
Understands the principle of amplification using passive devices and bias sources
Understands the biasing of a BJT, FET or MOST with four bias sources
Can relate the values of the two output port bias sources to the load drive requirements
Can find the values of the two input bias sources for a given device with its output bias quantities
Can transform the biasing with four sources into an equivalent circuit that requires maximally two power supply voltage sources
