increase gm

we all know two stages OP AC gain= gm x ro
but if we design a one stage OP which only has gm,
how do we get the AC Voltage gain ?
and how to increase the gain?

gm is the property of a transistor - not a property of an opamp, is it ?
If a circuitry with a differential input "has only gm" I think it is something like an OTA.
You should be a bit more detailed.

If you have only gm than there is no voltage gain...
gm unit is A/V


Your mosfet has ro, no matter if there was one or two stage amplifier.
 

If the ro of the op is infinite, the AC gain is determined by ri of next stage. So the gain is gm*ri
 

The Gain of a singel stage is Gain=gm*R1 with R1 is the Output resistens of the single Stage, if you have only one Transistor with a curren sourc as load Gain is G=gm*ro with ro is resistens of the Transistor.
Singel Stage
Normaly you have somthing like a Common source Configuration, so your Output resistens is R1=r0_input*r0_load/(r0_input+r0_load), you can boost your gain with cascod
need more Gain: Gain Boosting
 

You should think about sacrificing some other charactristic to meet your voltage gain. What do you want to sacrifice according to your aplication?
