5. (a) Briefly explain the frequency response of an amplifier. Plot the typical frequency response of an amplifier, what is the main reason for such a characteristic? (b) Determine the Thevenin equivalence of the circuit shown below. Use a load resistor of 1 k and find I and V to verify your result. (c) What are the advantages/disadvantages of using more advanced MOS technology to design amplifier? Name one of each and provide a brief explanation.
Power Amplifier
The power amplifier is an electronic amplifier designed to maximize the signal strength of a given input. The input signal strength is enhanced to a high enough level to drive output devices such as speakers, headphones, RF (Radio frequency) transmitters, etc. Unlike voltage / current amplifiers, the power amplifier is designed to drive core loads directly and is used as a storage block in the amplifier series.
Maximum Efficiency Criterion
In every field of engineering, there is a tremendous use of the machine and all those machines are equipped for their popular work efficiency so it very much important for operation engineers to monitor the efficiency of the machine, planning engineers to check out the efficiency of the machine before installing the machine and design engineers to design machine for higher efficiency than and then the utility will procure their products that will ultimately lead to profit and loss of the company. It indicates the importance of efficiency right from the initial stage as manufacturing units, intermediate stage as planning coordinators, and end-users stage as a utility.

(d) Two MOSFETs (M₁ and M₂) have the same gate length (L₁= L₂) but the width of
M₁ is 3x of M₂ (W₁= 3 W₂). Determine the ratio of intrinsic gain (G₁/G₂) of the two
transistors if the two transistors are biased under the same drain current.
