Question 1

What does Gain Margin (GM) indicate?

  • A measurement of phase lag
  • A measure of stability before oscillation
  • The overall bandwidth of a system

💡 Hint: Focus on the definition of GM.

Question 2

True or False: A Phase Margin (PM) above 60 degrees may indicate a sluggish response.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between PM and system response.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A feedback amplifier has a phase crossover frequency of 3 kHz, and the loop gain at this frequency is measured at -9 dB. What is the Gain Margin, and what implications does this have for the design?

💡 Hint: Apply the GM formula.

Question 2

Given a PM of 25 degrees in an amplifier design, outline the steps to increase this margin to an acceptable level, suggesting specific components or techniques that might be employed.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how feedback affects phase.
