Feedback

•Most physical systems incorporate someform of feedback–Negative –Degenerative–Positive –Regenerative

•Negative feedback in amplifier design–Desensitize the gain–Reduce nonlinear distortion–Reduce the effect of noise–Control the input and output impedances–Extend the bandwidth of the amplifier

•Everything good is at the expense of areduction of gain. Gain-reduction factor –theamount of feedback
