2. Feedback Amplifier
A feedback amplifier is one that provides a
the input signal. Notice that the feedback signal is in phase with the
input signal. This means that the feedback signal will add to or
"regenerate" the input signal. The result is a larger amplitude output
signal than would occur without the feedback.
Negative feedback occurs when the feedback signal is out of phase
with the input signal. This means that the feedback signal will
subtract from or "degenerate" the input signal. This results in a
lower amplitude output signal than would occur without the
feedback.
For
A = Vo /Vi
This gain A is often called open-loop gain.
ADVANTAGES
Stabilized the gain of amplifier
Increases bandwidth of the amplifier so that it provides
Feedback Concept
Gain Stability
Bandwidth Extension
When negative feedback is applied, the
frequency response of an amplifier is increased.
The lower half power frequency f1 is decreased by
a factor of
,
the upper half-power
frequency f2 is increased by a factor of
.
Hence, these two frequencies with feedback are
given by
