Output Characteristics of n - Channel MOSFET

Output Characteristics of n - Channel MOSFET

Objectives

  • To plot the output characteristics of n- channel MOSFET.
  • To compute the drain resistance

Experiment

  • Output characteristics indicate the variation of the drain current ($I_{D}$) with the drain to source voltage ($V_{DS}$) for different gate to source voltages ($V_{GS}$).
  • Wire up the ciruit in QUCS schematic editor as shown below.
  • Run the simulations and observe the output characteristics as shown below.
  • Select a characteristics and draw a tangent in the saturation region and compute the drain resistance as \begin{equation} r_{d}=\frac{\Delta V_{DS}}{\Delta I_{D}} \end{equation} for the given $V_{GS}$
  • Observations

    Drain resistance = $\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\,\Omega$

    Generation of Signals using MATLAB/Python

    Generation of Signals using MATLAB/Python Dr. Hari V S Department of Electronics and Communication College of Engineering Karunagappally What You will Learn You will learn about various energy signals and their generation using MATLAB and python. Signal Generation using MATLAB MATLAB arrays are used to generate finite energy signals. It should be understood that the signals so generated are discrete in time and amplitude. Sinusoidal Signal Consider the sinusoidal signal $x=sin(t)$, which is nothing but a single tone, with the help of the MATLAB code below. t=linspace(0,10,5000); x=sin(t); plot(t,x); grid; The execution of the code will result in the signal, shown below. Amplitude Modulated Signal The above low frequency tone is used to modulate a sinusoidal carrier $y$ of ten times the original frequency. i.e. $y=sin(10t)$. The amplitude modulated signal $am(t)$ is obtained as \begin{equation} am(t)=x*y+y \end{equation}Su...
