Input Resistance Formula Elements

Variables
Input Resistance
Input Resistance is defined as the total internal resistance as experienced by MESFET.
Symbol: Ri
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drain Resistance
Drain Resistance is the ratio of change in drain to source voltage to corresponding change in drain current for a constant gate to source voltage.
Symbol: Rd
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cut-off Frequency
Cut-off Frequency is defined as corner frequency is a boundary in system's frequency response at which energy flowing through system begins to be reduced rather than passing through.
Symbol: fco
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Frequency of Oscillations
Maximum Frequency of Oscillations is defined as the practical upper bound for useful circuit operation with MESFET.
Symbol: fm
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Gate Metallization Resistance
Gate Metallization Resistance is defined as the resistance of metallization of a FET gate stripe that has effect of placing a non-linear resistance in series with the gate junction.
Symbol: Rg
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Source Resistance
Source Resistance is a measure of how much this source opposes the load from drawing current from it.
Symbol: Rs
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω

FAQs on Input Resistance

What is the formula to find Input Resistance?
The formula of Input Resistance is expressed as Input Resistance = ((Drain Resistance*Cut-off Frequency^2)/(4*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2))-(Gate Metallization Resistance+Source Resistance). Here is an example- 15.49445 = ((450*30.05^2)/(4*65^2))-(2.8+5.75).
How to calculate Input Resistance?
With Drain Resistance (Rd), Cut-off Frequency (fco), Maximum Frequency of Oscillations (fm), Gate Metallization Resistance (Rg) & Source Resistance (Rs) we can find Input Resistance using the formula - Input Resistance = ((Drain Resistance*Cut-off Frequency^2)/(4*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2))-(Gate Metallization Resistance+Source Resistance).
Can the Input Resistance be negative?
No, the Input Resistance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Input Resistance?
Input Resistance is usually measured using the Ohm[Ω] for Electric Resistance. Megohm[Ω], Microhm[Ω], Volt per Ampere[Ω] are the few other units in which Input Resistance can be measured.
