Please can someone help me on this problem. I need to know where to start, I know I need to use a MOSFET​

Design, build and test an AC coupled amplifier powered from a 12V supply with the
following specification.​

·
Input voltage: 100mV
·​


Covers the audio frequency range: at most 50Hz to at least 10kHz
·​


Gain: 24±2 dB (gain should be flat over the specified frequency range)
·​


Output should not be inverted
·​


Input impedance: >1.2 MW
· Output impedance: <180 W
· No resistors <220 Ohms to be used​
· No parallel resistors on transistor output stages

I was going to suggest a "common source" amplifier (which you could Google). But this will give an inverted output.

If you want voltage gain, high input impedance, low output impedance and non-inverting you will need more than one transistor.

You could use two common source amplifier stages, the first one feeding the second one. Each one inverts, therefore the complete circuit does not. To accurately control the gain you need to use overall negative feedback.

Have you been given any more clues in your course notes?
