About the resistor to ground (Read 3557 times)

gaom9 Junior Member Offline Posts: 21 CHINA	About the resistor to ground Apr 18^th, 2008, 7:50am Hi, I want to know how to calculate the resistor to ground when calculate the POLE and ZERO. I saw some examples about it, but in some node, I can not find the resistor to ground in small signal model. And when calculate it, should we short the input and output to ground? Is there any books about it, please? Thank you. Best regards!

I am sorry, Stefan
My question is as shown below.

For example, when I calculate the POLE and ZERO of the common-gate amp as shown below. What is the resistor of note X to ground? in its small signal as shown below, Rs and 1/gm//1/gmb is in series, but both of them do not connect to ground, but in Razavi is book, the resistor of it to ground is RS//[1/(gm+gmb)], why? and also the question to note Y.
And should we short the output and input to ground when calculate?

common gate amp

small signal model

Thank you.
Best regards.
