Cascode C-S Amplifier (Find Poles in Frequency Response)

[tron_2.0]

Homework Statement

Heres the question, I honestly don't know where to even begin :(

An AC model of a cascode common-source amplifier is shown below. M1 and M2 are biased in saturation mode. The parasitic capacitors in the transistors are included. Determine the poles in frequency response at node A, X, and Y respectively.

(Hint: When calculating node X, Miller Effect should be included. You need to figure out the DC gain of node X versus node A.)

well, I've noticed most people here won't give a lot of help unless you make some sort of effort. i googled miller effect and found an equation for it. You may want to start by writing equations like that and other relevant equations.
