A MOSFET version of Figure 3 is shown in Figure 4, where MOSFETs M 3 and M 4 operate in ohmic mode to play the same role as emitter resistors R E in Figure 3, and MOSFETs M 1 and M 2 operate in active mode in the same roles as mirror transistors Q 1 and Q 2 in Figure 3. An explanation follows of how the circuit in Figure 3 works.
The use of a cascode (sometimes verbified to cascoding) is a common technique for improving analog circuit performance, applicable to both vacuum tubes and transistors.The name "cascode" was coined in an article written by Frederick Vinton Hunt and Roger Wayne Hickman in 1939, in a discussion on the application of voltage stabilizers.

Fig. 1: Wilson current mirror Fig. 2: Wilson current source. There are three principal metrics of how well a current mirror will perform as part of a larger circuit. The first measure is the static error, i.e., the difference between the input and output currents expressed as a fraction of the input current.
This configuration is used less often than the common source or source follower.However, it can be combined with common source amplifiers to create cascode configurations. . It is useful in, for example, CMOS RF receivers, especially when operating near the frequency limitations of the FETs; it is desirable because of the ease of impedance matching and potentially has lower noi
Obviously, in order to do that, such a current direction inverter (having a more popular name – current mirror) has to be at least a 3-terminal device (Fig. 2). The reason of that is because the two entering currents have to "go out" from somewhere (Fig. 2a) and v.v., the two exiting currents have to "go in" somewhere (Fig. 2b).
He hit one out of the ballot box. Bronx Bomber Aaron Judge scored 63 write-in votes in last month’s general election in local judicial races, newly-certified NYC Board of Elections records show. ...
Specifically, the differential output current would now be proportional to the product of an arbitrary number of differential inputs (or some translinear function thereof). [4] However, the utility of this generalization in practical microelectronics settings is limited due to the large voltage headroom needed to keep all of the transistors in ...
To calculate the current and voltage in them generally requires either graphical methods or simulation on computers using electronic circuit simulation programs like SPICE. However in some electronic circuits such as radio receivers , telecommunications, sensors, instrumentation and signal processing circuits, the AC signals are "small ...
