Small-signal amplification and power amplification are dependent on  the application where they are going to be applied.  In most cases, the  frequency range of the signal is critical to its ability to carry the  information that is being transferred.  
In this activity, we will explore the effects of the internal and  external capacitances on the frequency response of the system.  We will  also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the amplifier’s  response to eliminate unwanted noise from the system.
Before you begin, be sure you review the following resources:

Electronic Devices
Effect of Coupling Capacitors
With FETs, the input coupling capacitor is almost always smaller because of the high input resistance. The output capacitor may be smaller or larger depending on the drain and load resistor size.
