Summary of the Feedback Analysis Method
1. Always begin the analysis by determining an approximate value for the closed-loop gain Af, assuming that the loop gain Ab is large and thus
Af ~ 1/b : the approximate value depends on how large Ab is compared to unity
2. The shunt connection at input or output always results in reducing the corresponding resistance (inputor output). The series connection at input or output always results in increasing the correspondingresistance (input or output).
3. In utilizing negative feedback to improve the properties of an amplifier under design, the starting pointin the design is the selection of the feedback topology appropriate for the application at hand.Then the required amount of negative feedback (1+ Ab) can be ascertained utilizing the fact that it isthis quantity that determines the magnitude of improvement in the various amplifier parameters.Also, the feedback factor b can be determined from
b ~ 1/ Af
