Following figure shoes the high frequency equivalent circuit of a common-source MOSFET
amplifier. The amplifier is fed with a signal generator Vsig having a resistance Rsig.
Resistance R in is due to the biasing network. Resistance R~ is the parallel equivalent of the
load resistance RL, the drain bias resistance Ro, and the FET output resistance roo Capacitors
cgs and cgd are the MOSFET internal capacitance:
