1. Write the equation for the overall gain of a positive feedback amplifier. Explain how and under
what conditions this amplifier becomes unstable. (4marks)
2. i. State the Barkhausen criterion and explain the conditions that must be satisfied for a
feedback amplifier to produce steady oscillation. How do oscillations get steady? why is a
frequency determined circuit necessary in an oscillator? (2marks)
ii. What happen for an oscillator if the feedback circuit is made of non-reactive elements?
(2marks)
