Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
An amplifier has poles at 100Hz and 1KHz. If negative feedback is applied, how do the pole locations change? Derive the new poles using a given feedback factor of B2 = 0.1.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the calculated feedback to each pole.
If the loop gain of a feedback system is critically high, discuss the implications for phase margin and stability in terms of pole proximity to the imaginary axis.
💡 Hint: Relate this back to previous discussions on pole placement and stability.
