It is a bias of a fixed voltage supplied by a separate low-power bias supply. Early radios used a 9 v tapped bias battery. In some amplifiers fixed bias can be dispensed with and the bias voltage is derived from one of the currents in the circuit.
Why self bias is not suitable for enhancment type mosfet?
With the E-MOSFET, VGS has to be, 'greater than VGS(th) to get any drain current at all. Therefore, when E-MOSFETs are biased, self-bias, current-source bias, and zero bias cannot be used because these forms of bias depend on the depletion mode of operation. This leaves gate bias, voltage-divider bias, and source bias as the means for biasing E-MOSFETs.
