**Title: Calculating Impedance \( Z_X \) in MOSFET Circuits**

**Overview:**
This lesson focuses on calculating the impedance, \( Z_X \), in two distinct MOSFET amplifier circuits. The simplified circuits neglect other capacitances to facilitate analysis, emphasizing the frequency response of \( |Z_X| \).

**Circuit Descriptions:**

**Figure (a):**
- **Components:**
  - Two MOSFET transistors, labeled \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \).
  - A DC voltage source \( V_{DD} \).
  - A resistor \( R_D \).
  - A capacitor \( C_1 \).
  - A current source \( I_1 \).
  - Impedance \( Z_X \).
  
- **Circuit Layout:**
  - \( M_2 \) is connected to \( V_{DD} \) and \( R_D \).
  - \( M_1 \) is arranged below \( M_2 \) forming a cascode structure.
  - Capacitor \( C_1 \) connects \( M_1 \) to ground.
  - Impedance \( Z_X \) is placed between the current source \( I_1 \) and \( M_1 \).

- **Given Parameters:**
  - \( \lambda = \gamma = 0 \)

**Figure (b):**
- **Components:**
  - Identical to Figure (a).

- **Circuit Layout:**
  - Same components as in Figure (a) with a configuration where \( Z_X \) is situated beyond \( M_1 \), differing in its positioning from Figure (a).

- **Given Parameters:**
  - \( \lambda = \gamma = 0 \)

**Objective:**
- Calculate \( Z_X \) for each configuration by considering the unique placements and interactions of components.
- Sketch the magnitude of the impedance \( |Z_X| \) with respect to frequency.

**Analysis Approach:**

1. **DC Analysis:**
   - Examine the biasing conditions of the MOSFETs to ensure they operate in the saturation region, maintaining a high impedance state.

2. **AC Analysis:**
   - Derive expressions for \( Z_X \) utilizing small-signal models.
   - Integrate the impact of \( C_1 \) for frequency-dependent behavior.
   - Note the absence of other capacitances simplifies calculations.
