Feedback Prncple : Feedback amplfer s that n whch a part f the utput f the basc amplfer s returned back t the nput termnal and mxed up wth the nternal nput sgnal. The sub netwrks f feedback amplfer are: Blck dagram f a feedback netwrk (a) SAMPLNG NETWOK: Ths netwrk samples ut a part f utput n rder t send t t the nput. t may cnsst f resstr, cndenser, nductr and als electrnc cmpnents. (b) FEEDBACK NETWOK: Feedback netwrk s used t get a desred magntude f utput and als desred phase t send t t the nput sutably. (c) MXE NETWOK: The functn f ths netwrk s t mx up the feedback entty wth external nput sutably. Pstve feedback : f the feed back entty mxed up wth external sgnal s n same phase then the feedback s called pstve feedback feedback. Negatve feedback: f the feedback entty mxed up wth the external sgnal s n ppste phase then feedback s called negatve feedback. 1

(a) Vltage amplfer: Fr a vltage amplfer the utput vltage (V O ) s prprtnal t the nput vltage (V ). V O V V O = A V V Where A V s called the vltage gan. Thevenn s equvalent crcut f a tw prt netwrk whch represents a vltage amplfer s gven n fgure belw; Here, V S = sgnal vltage S = surce resstance = nput resstance s V V Vs n the absence f lad.e. pen ckt. utput vltage 1 V. = AvV = Av Vs = AvVs s 1 s As ncreases V O als n creases.

(b) Current amplfer: n an deal current amplfer the utput current s prprtnal t the nput current. O O = A Where, A s called the current gan. Open ckt. utput current, = A. = A s s s s s f decreases then O ncreases. When 0; O = A S the max m utput s = s s current.

(c) Transcnductance amplfer: An deal transcnductance amplfer prduces an utput current whch s prprtnal t the nput vltage. O V O =g m V Here g m s called transcnductance.

Effect f negetve feedback n nput and utput resstances f amplfers: (a) Vltage seres feedback : (Vltage amplfer) () nput resstance wth negatve feedback : V=Vs V' AvV' L V f Vf f f' f the negatve feedback sgnal s returned t the nput n seres wth the appled vltage, t gves rse t an ncrease n nput resstance. t s because f the fact that feedback vltage V f ppses the nput vltage V S (sgnal vltage) as they are n ppste phase. As a result the nput current s less then that whch wuld be f V f s absent. And hence the nput resstance appears t ncrease. Applyng KVL at the equvalent nput ckt. We can wrte, V f V S = V f = βv O (1) [Q β = ] V Nw frm utput crcut we can wrte, AV V O = v L Av V L = = = AVL (2)[ Q V = ] L L A Where, A VL = v L (3) L Nw usng the value f V O frm (2) n (1) we get, V S = βa VL V s = (1 β AVL) f = (1 β AVL ) f = nput resstance n presence f feedback. Hence we see that the nput resstance ncreases by a factr (1βA VL ) due t negatve vltage seres feedback. 9
() Output resstance wth negatve feedback: The effete f negatve seres vltage feedback s t decreases the utput resstance f an amplfer. Nw we cnsder tw cases: n the frst case here remve L : T fnd ut utput resstance wthut L we remve external sgnal Vs s that V = V f. We mpse a vltage V acrss the utput termnal and then calculate the current delvered by V. as shwn n ckt. Belw.n ths case, V f = (4) V' AvV' V Vf f Nw frm the utput ckt, V AvV = V AvVf = V Av βv = [ V f = β V ] V = 1 β Av Of = 1 β Av Of O. n the 2 nd case we cnsder the presence f L : Nw we cnsder the presence f lad resstance L acrss utput termnal. n ths case L becmes parallel t Of and the effectve utput resstance s gven by, f = f L 10
V' AvV' L V Vf f f' f = f L f. L f = f L. L f = 1 β Av L 1 β A v = L L Lβ Av L ( L) = 1 β A L v L f = 1 β AVL where = L = L L AV and A L VL = L 11
(b) Current shunt feedback: (current amplfer) () nput resstance wth negatve feedback: s f s f V A Negatve feedback, n whch feedback sgnal s returned t the nput by the methd f current shunt feedback, gves rse t decrease n nput resstance. Frm the nput ckt applyng KCL we have, s f = => f s = f = β (5) [ β = ] Nw frm utput termnal the current thugh L s A = = AL (6) = L A Where, A L = (7) L Usng equatn (6) n (5) we get, s = AL = (1 A L) (8) nput resstance wthut feedback, V = And nput resstance wth feedback, V f = = s ( 1 β AL) f = ( 1 β AL ) < f Current shunt negatve feedback causes a decrease n the nput resstance.
