Question

how does the self-biased FET's work and why? why is it that a high input impedance (Zi) is a desirable property to have?

Explanation / Answer

--->(take into consideration the standard self biased FET circuit) This is the most common method for biasing a JFET. Self-bias circuit for N-channel JFET is shown in figure. Since no gate current flows through the reverse-biased gate-source, the gate current IG = 0 and, therefore,vG = iG RG = 0 With a drain current ID the voltage at the S is Vs= ID Rs The gate-source voltage is then VGs = VG - Vs = 0
