A discrete MOSFET common-source amplifier has RG = 2 MΩ, gm = 5 mA/V, ro = 100 kΩ, RD = 20kΩ, Cgs = 3pF, and Cgd = 0.5pF. The amplifier is fed from a voltage source with an internal resistance of 500 kΩ and is connected to a 20-kΩ load. Find:

a. the overall midband gain AM
b. the upper 3-dB frequency fH
c. the frequency of the transmission zero, fZ

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
