Feedback Xs Xi Xo + - Xf βf What is feedback? Taking a portion of the signal arriving at the load and feeding it back to the input. What is negative feedback? Adding the feedback signal to the input so as to partially cancel the input signal to the amplifier. Doesn’t this reduce the gain? Yes, this is the price we pay for using feedback. Why use feedback? Provides a series of advantages, such as:- 1-Gain desensitivity 2-Bandwidth extension 3-Noise reduction 4-Improves amplifier linearity

Basic Types of Feedback Amplifiers Depending upon :- Output can be a current or a voltage Input can be a current or a voltage There are four types of feedback amplifiers (Type of input) (Type of output) (1) Series (Voltage) Shunt (Voltage) (2) Series (Voltage) Series (Current) (3) Shunt (Current) Shunt (Voltage) (4) Shunt (Current) Series (Current) Terminology used to name types of feedback amplifier:- First term refers to nature of feedback connection at the input. Second term refers to nature of connection at the output.
Feedback topologies (1) Series (Voltage) -Shunt (Voltage)
