2. introduction An audio-frequency amplifier can be designed to have a certain current, voltage or power gain together with particular values of input and output impedance. The amplifier will add noise and distortion to the signals. The components employed in the amplifier, both passive (resistors, capacitors, etc.) and active (transistors and f.e.t.s), will vary in value with both time and change in temperature and will have manufacturing tolerances.

3. introduction The gain of the amplifier may therefore vary with time, with change in ambient temperature, and when a component has to be replaced by another of the Same type. (manufacturing tolerances) Any fluctuations in the power supply may also cause the gain of the amplifier to alter.

4. feedback 1、what is feedback? 2、For many applications a more or less constant gain iS necessary，and this can be obtained if negative feedback (n.f.b.) iS applied to the amplifier, at the expense, however,of a reduction in gain.

31. Input point--feedback point--sample point--output point Conclusion

32. EXAMPLE 4.7 An amplifier has a voltage gain of 1000.If 3／100 of the output voltage IS applied as negative feedback,calculate the change in overall gain if the gain before feedback falls by 50％. • Solution Gain with feedback,inherent gain being 1000. New gain with feedback,inherent gain having been reduced to 500.

33. Therefore Change in gain (Ans.) Thus a 50％fall in the inherent gain of the amplifier results in only a 3.13％change in the overall gain.

34. If the loop gain is much larger than unity then equations(4.1)and(4.8)become It is evident that, if , the gain of the amplifier iS merely a function of the feedback circuit and iS quite independent of the characteristics of the amplifier itself.Any changes in the performance of the amplifier will not now affect the overall gain.

35. resistance-capacitance feedback network is chosen to have aloss／frequency characteristic

36. Input and output impedances • The application of negative feedback to an amplifier alters its input and output impedances.Each impedance may be either increased or decreased depending on the type of feedback used；see Table 4.1.

37. Amplitude／Frequency Distortion • for example,the gain of an R-C coupled amplifier falls off at both high and low frequentcles because of capacitive effects.The application of negative feedback to an amplifier reduces change in its gain and thereby reduces amplitude／frequency distortion.Fig.4.14

38. Clearly the feed-back has made the amplifier gain much‘‘flatter” over most of the frequency band.At high and low frequencies, however,the loop gain is not much greater than unity(because the gain A has fallen)and the effect of the feedback is reduced. • this means that the 3 dB bandwidth of the amplifier has been increased by the applied negative feedback.An increase in the upper 3 dB frequency can be obtained by the use of frequency-sensitive feedback.

39. Non-linearity Distortion • For example,suppose the input signal contains frequencies,f1 and f2.If the output signal has components at 2f1,2f2,3f1,3f2,etc.,harmonic distortion has occurred；if components at 2f1士f2, f1士2f2, etc.,exist inter-modulation distortion iS present.Often both harmonic and intermodulation distortion occur at the same time.

40. EXAMPLE 4.8 • An amplifier has a voltage gain of 50 dB.Find the change in the gain if 1/50 of the output voltage is fed back into the input in opposition to the input signal.What is then the reduction in harmonic distortion at the output of the amplifier? Phase shift in the amplifier and the feedback path may be neglected. Solution Equation(4.1)is

41. 50=20 logl0(voltage ratio) 50／20=2.5=logl0(voltage ratio) Taking antilogl0 of sides 316.2=voltage ratio Therefore times=32.7dB so that Change in gain=50-32.7=17.3 dB (Ans.) From equation(4.12),the reduction in harmonic distortion is 1/(1+(316.2/50))=1/7.32=0.137times (Ans.)
