CLASSIC FEEDBACK SYSTEMS
In a classic feedback system with a nonideal amplifier, the goal is often to improve certain
characteristics of the system, such as bandwidth, distortion, and noise, by applying feedback.
1. Block Diagram: consists of three main components: the input signal (Vin), the amplifier (A),
and the feedback network (β).
2. Non Ideal Amplifier: It may have imperfections and limitations. Nonidealities can include
finite bandwidth, distortion, noise, and other deviations from an ideal amplifier.
3. Open-Loop Gain (A): represents the amplification factor of the nonideal amplifier without
feedback. It is the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage when feedback is not
applied.
4. Feedback Network (β):It determines the amount of feedback
applied to the system. The feedback factor (β) is the ratio of the
feedback signal to the output signal.

2. Finite Input Resistance
● When analyzing operational amplifiers (op-amps), it is common to consider the input
resistance as infinite in ideal conditions. However, in real-world scenarios, operational
amplifiers have finite input resistances that can impact the performance of the circuits in which
they are used.

SERIES AND SHUNT FEEDBACK CIRCUITS
In this equation, RX is the resistance of the closed-loop feedback amplifier looking into one of
its ports (any terminal pair), R D X is the resistance looking into the same pair of terminals with the
feedback loop disabled, TSC is the loop-gain with a short circuit applied to the selected port, and
TOC is the loop gain with the same port open-circuited.
On the left side, applied input voltage vi equals the sum of the op amp input voltage and
the feedback network voltage: vi = vid + vi f . Thus there is series feedback at the input because
the amplifier input and feedback network voltages are in series.
At the output, we see that the feedback network voltage equals the op amp output voltage:
vof = vo. Thus the amplifier and feedback network are connected in parallel, or shunt, at the
output, so we have shunt feedback at the output.
CLOSED-LOOP GAIN CALCULATION:
On the input side, the feedback network voltage equals the op amp input voltage: vi f = −vid . Thus the
amplifier and feedback network are connected in parallel, so we have shunt feedback at the input. At
the output, vof = vo, so we also have shunt feedback at the output. We refer to this overall
configuration as a shunt-shunt feedback amplifier.
