Comment on the effect of negative feedback on the gain, input and output resistance of the feedback amplifiers.Describe the gain bandwidth product term used in this context and its importance.

1 Answer

Answer :

Effect of negative feedback:

1. Gain decreases with negative feedback.

2. Input resistance increases with negative feedback.

3. Output resistance decreases with negative feedback.

Explanation of significance of Gain bandwidth product

* Bandwidth measure at 3db voltage gain. As Gain and bandwidth product is always constant, and it is unity gain bandwidth.

* The gain decreases with negative feedback bandwidth increases which means it is stable output on more range of frequency.
