This is the forward transconductance of the device at a specified value of ID. gfs represents the signal gain (drain current divided by gate voltage) in the linear region. This parameter should be measured with a small AC superimposed on a gate bias an d the curve tracer is not the appropriate tool for this measurement. Even with specific
