(2) z-parameters is normally used in analysis of series-series circuits

(3) Z12 = Z21 (reciprocal circuit)

Negative Feedback Properties • Negative feedback takes a sample of the output signal and applies

it to the input to get several desirable properties. In amplifiers, negative feedback can be applied to get the following properties

– Desensitized gain : gain less sensitive to circuit component variations

– Reduce nonlinear distortion : output proportional to input (constant gain independent of signal level)

– Reduce effect of noise

– Control input and output impedances by applying appropriate feedback topologies

– Extend bandwidth of amplifier

• All of these properties can be achieved by trading off gain


Gain De-sensitivity • Feedback can be used to desensitize the closed-loop gain to variations in the

basic amplifiler.

• Assume is constant. Take differentials of the closed loop gain equation gives,

• Divided by Av, the close loop gain sensitivity is equal to,

• This result shows the effects of variations in A on ACL is mitigated by the feed

back amount.

• (1+A) is also called the desensitivity amount.

Basic Feedback TopologiesDepending on the input signal (voltage or current) to be amplified and form of the output (voltage or current), amplifiers can be classified into four categories. Depending on the amplifier category, one of four types of feedback structures should be used.

(Type of Feedback) (Type of Sensing)

(1) Series (Voltage) Shunt (Voltage)

(2) Series (Voltage) Series (Current)

(3) Shunt (Current) Shunt (Voltage)

(4) Shunt (Current) Series (Current)
