Feedback Amplifiers
Experiment No.: ________

Date: ________________

Experiment Title:
Design and Analysis of Feedback Amplifiers

Objective:
1. To design amplifier circuits with different types of feedback (voltage series, voltage shunt,
current series, current shunt).
2. To study the effect of feedback on gain, bandwidth, and stability.
3. To analyze the trade-off between feedback and amplifier performance.

Apparatus Required:
S.No Component/Instrument Specification

1 Transistors (e.g., NPN/PNP


BC547/BC557)

2 Resistors Various (1kΩ to 100kΩ)

3 Capacitors Various (μF and nF)

4 Function Generator 0–1 MHz

5 Dual DC Power Supply ±12V

6 CRO or DSO Dual channel, 20 MHz

7 Breadboard and Patch -


Cords

Circuit Diagrams:
Draw and simulate the following circuits:
1. Voltage Series Feedback Amplifier
2. Voltage Shunt Feedback Amplifier
3. Current Series Feedback Amplifier
4. Current Shunt Feedback Amplifier

Theory:
Feedback in amplifiers is the process of feeding a portion of the output signal back to the
input. Depending on the type and polarity of feedback, it can:
- Stabilize gain
- Increase bandwidth
- Reduce distortion
- Improve input/output impedance

Negative feedback is commonly used in amplifier design for stability and performance. The
gain with feedback is given by:
Af = A / (1 + Aβ)
Where A is the open-loop gain, β is the feedback factor, and Af is the closed-loop gain.

Procedure:
1. Construct the amplifier circuit for each feedback type on the breadboard.
2. Apply sinusoidal input signal (10 mV to 100 mV).
3. Measure output amplitude with and without feedback.
4. Measure bandwidth using AC sweep (frequency response).
5. Record gain and bandwidth values.
6. Repeat for different feedback configurations.
7. Analyze the trade-off between gain and bandwidth.

Observation Table:
| Feedback Type | Gain without Feedback | Gain with Feedback | Bandwidth (Hz) |
Comments |
|-------------------|------------------------|---------------------|----------------|------------------|
| Voltage Series | | | | |
| Voltage Shunt | | | | |
| Current Series | | | | |
| Current Shunt | | | | |

Result:
The feedback amplifiers were successfully constructed and analyzed. It was observed that:
- Feedback reduces gain but increases bandwidth.
- Negative feedback improves linearity and stability.
- Different configurations offer trade-offs in impedance and frequency response.
Biomedical Application Note:
Feedback amplifiers are essential in biomedical instruments where precision, stability, and
low noise are critical, such as:
- ECG and EEG signal amplification
- Analog front-ends in wearable devices
- Biomedical filters and sensor interfaces

Viva Questions:
1. What is negative feedback and why is it used?
2. How does feedback affect bandwidth and gain?
3. Compare voltage and current feedback types.
4. What are real-world examples of feedback in electronics?
5. How does feedback impact biomedical signal amplifiers?
