gm = d(ID)/d(VGS), where ID = drain current, and VGS = gate bias, with all other biases fixed and all biases referenced to the source voltage. gm is the measure of how much the drain current changes with an incremental change of VGS. Practically, you measure (ID, VGS) pairs at a fixed VDS for a range of VGS. Then gm at a certain (VGS=VGS1) is simply (ID2-ID1)/(VGS2-VGS1), where 1,2 signify consecutive pairs of (ID, VGS). In other words, you can plot ID versus VGS on an x-y plot with VGS being the x-axis. Whichever way you measure the slope at a certain (VGS=VGS1) on the curve is the gm value.
Please note that gm for an MOSFET is the same in definition.

What is the inverse of transconductance?
Roughly speaking, resistance. Transconductance refers to the reciprocal of the amplifying device's internal resistance. The concept is particularly useful if the device is a voltage-controlled current source (tube or FET). In vacuum tube amplifiers, transconductance (Gm) is (u / Rp), where... u is the amplification factor. u= (Gm x Rp). Rp is the anode (drain) resistance. Rp is the internal resistance of the amplifying device. Gfs is synonymous with Gm. The reciprocal of Gm (or Gfs) is (Rp / u). Another term for this reciprocal is transresistance.
What is transconductance?
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. If it is taken between one output parameter and one input parameter, then it is called transconductance i. e. the ratio of output current to the input voltage.It is given by gm= Iout/Vin
What does gm0 represent in a BJT amplifier circuit?
gm0 is not used in BJT amplifier circuits; it is used in JFET circuits. It is the transconductance at zero gate bias. Since the transconductance varies as the bias is varied, this gives a benchmark level at a given defined point, and other transconductances can be calculated from it as a function of the amount of negative bias on the gate. If it were linear it would be the same everywhere, but it is not.
How jfet works?
A Jfet works by applying voltage to the drain of the jfet. A jfet will then conduct across from drain to source.
What are the applications of jfet?
• High Input Impedance Amplifier. • Low-Noise Amplifier. • Differential Amplifier. • Constant Current Source. • Analog Switch or Gate. • Voltage Controlled Resistor. • JFET as a Switch • JFET as a Chopper • JFET as a Current source • JFET as a Amplifier • JFET as a Buffer
What type of transistor is a JFET?
JFET is a unijunction transistor.
Can jfet operate in enhancement and depletion mode?
No, jfet works only in depletion mode.
Why you need operational transconductance amplifier?
Usually output of an amplifier is a voltage ,...but in case of Operational Transconductance Amplifier ,Iout (current ) is the output. This feature, makes it useful for Electronic control of amplifier gain .
What is working principle of jfet?
no
Does the channel width of the JFET remains constant at any point of time?
It depends on the topology of the circuit in which the JFET is operating.
A JFET can operate in?
active region.
Does an omega symbol flipped vertically mean anything?
it is a transconductance unit which is "ampere/volt"
