Lecture 18 Feedback Amplifier

The document discusses feedback amplifiers, describing how negative feedback results in reduced voltage gain but improved characteristics like higher input impedance, better stabilized voltage gain, and lower output impedance. It provides examples of voltage-series feedback and calculates the voltage gain, input impedance, and output impedance with feedback for different beta values.

What is Feedback?
Depending on the relative polarity of the signal being
fed back into a circuit, one may have negative or
positive feedback.
Negative feedback results in decreased voltage gain.
Positive feedback drives a circuit into oscillation as in
various types of oscillator circuits.

Feedback Amplifier
A typical feedback connection is shown in Fig.
The input signal Vs is applied to a mixer network,
where it is combined with a feedback signal Vf .
The difference signal Vi is
the input voltage to the
amplifier. A portion of the
amplifier output Vo is
connected to the feedback
network (β), which provides
a reduced portion of the
output as feedback signal to
the input mixer network.

Feedback Amplifier
If the feedback signal is of opposite polarity to the
input signal, negative feedback results. Although
negative feedback results in reduced overall voltage
gain, a number of improvements are obtained, among
them being:
1. Higher input impedance.
2. Better stabilized voltage gain.
3. Improved frequency response.
4. Lower output impedance.
5. Reduced noise.
6. More linear operation.

Voltage-Series Feedback
Apart of the output voltage fed back in series with the
input signal, resulting in an overall gain reduction.
If there is no feedback
(Vf = 0), the voltage
gain of the amplifier is:

If a feedback signal Vf is
connected in series with the
input, then
Since

Input Impedance
The input impedance can be determined as follows:

The input impedance with series feedback is seen to be


the value of the input impedance without feedback
multiplied by the factor (1+βA ).

Output Impedance
The output impedance is determined by applying a
voltage V, resulting in a current I, with Vs shorted out
(Vs = 0). The voltage V is then

The output impedance with series feedback is seen to


be the value of the output impedance without feedback
reduced by the factor (1+βA ).

Output Impedance
Determine the voltage gain, input, and output impedance
with feedback for voltage-series feedback having A=-100,
Ri =10 kΩ, and Ro = 20 kΩ for feedback of (a) β=0.1 and
(b) β=0.5.
