90. Feedback system (Part-A)
The chapter focuses on the feedback systems within analog electronic circuits, explaining the fundamental concepts, types of feedback systems, and their configurations. It details the mechanics of feedback in amplifiers, including the derivation of transfer characteristics and feedback types, such as negative and positive feedback. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of feedback on system performance and stability.

What we have learnt
- Feedback systems are essential in controlling and stabilizing amplifier circuits.
- There are two main types of feedback: negative feedback which opposes input changes and positive feedback which enhances them.
- The transfer characteristics of a feedback system can be derived using forward gains and feedback factors.
Key Concepts
- -- Feedback System
- A feedback system is a network that takes a portion of the output and feeds it back to the input to improve stability and performance.
- -- Negative Feedback
- Negative feedback is a process where the feedback signal opposes the input signal, reducing the overall gain and improving stability.
- -- Positive Feedback
- Positive feedback is a process where the feedback signal reinforces the input signal, potentially increasing the gain and leading to instability.
- -- Transfer Characteristic
- The transfer characteristic is a relationship that describes how the output of a system changes in relation to its input, especially in feedback configurations.
- -- Desensitization Factor
- The desensitization factor is a measure of how feedback impacts the sensitivity of the system's gain, effectively reducing the variation of the output gain relative to input fluctuations.
