Source Resistance Formula Elements

Variables
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
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.

How to Evaluate Source Resistance?

Source Resistance evaluator uses Source Resistance = ((Drain Resistance*Cut-off Frequency^2)/(4*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2))-(Gate Metallization Resistance+Input Resistance) to evaluate the Source Resistance, The Source Resistance formula is defined as a purely resistive device can be experimentally determined by increasingly loading the device. Source Resistance is denoted by Rs symbol.

How to evaluate Source Resistance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Source Resistance, enter Drain Resistance (Rd), Cut-off Frequency (fco), Maximum Frequency of Oscillations (fm), Gate Metallization Resistance (Rg) & Input Resistance (Ri) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Source Resistance

What is the formula to find Source Resistance?
The formula of Source Resistance is expressed as Source Resistance = ((Drain Resistance*Cut-off Frequency^2)/(4*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2))-(Gate Metallization Resistance+Input Resistance). Here is an example- 5.744445 = ((450*30.05^2)/(4*65^2))-(2.8+15.5).
How to calculate Source Resistance?
With Drain Resistance (Rd), Cut-off Frequency (fco), Maximum Frequency of Oscillations (fm), Gate Metallization Resistance (Rg) & Input Resistance (Ri) we can find Source Resistance using the formula - Source Resistance = ((Drain Resistance*Cut-off Frequency^2)/(4*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2))-(Gate Metallization Resistance+Input Resistance).
Can the Source Resistance be negative?
No, the Source Resistance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Source Resistance?
Source 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 Source Resistance can be measured.
