Hi;
I am trying to simulate this in HSPICE. If i find my DC operating point, then the current ID is around 8mA and transistor is in saturation.
element 0:m1
model 0:cmosn
region Saturati
id 8.7958m
But when i give a very small AC, then rather than amplification, the simulation shows voltage and current dropping. I am sure there is something wrong as to the way i am entering the design. Can someone please help me out here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi;
I have a small signal AC source that has a series resistance and then the decoupling capacitor. If i remove the series resistance, then the gain is as per my calculation. But as soon as i include the series resistance, the gain drops below 1 for all frequency. As per my knowledge, the series resistance shouldnt have an effect on the gain. Any suggestions?

Okay, so i realise that its due to the biasing resistors and the series resistance with the small signal AC source. So, now i am trying to bias it using a current mirror. But there is still no improvement.
What are the reasons if this doesnt work with the current resistance. What parameters should i be looking for? Should i decrease my Gain current.
