Today we will focus on the input resistance of feedback systems. Can anyone tell me why it's important to determine this resistance?
I think it's crucial for understanding how the system reacts to different loads.
Exactly! The input resistance affects the overall performance. Can someone explain how we calculate it when multiple resistances are involved?
Isn't it calculated based on the resistances in parallel?
Correct! In parallel circuits, we consider the combined effect of these resistances. Remember the formula for input resistance: R_in = Z × (1 + β), where β is the feedback factor. Let's reinforce this with a mnemonic: 'Input Resistance is Interaction with Feedback'.
Common Mistakes in Calculating Input Resistance

Let's discuss common mistakes when calculating input resistance. What can happen if we mislabel variables?
We might get the formula wrong, like confusing β with β′.
Exactly! It's crucial that β remains unchanged when we consider R and other resistances. Can anyone think of a practical example of how this affects a circuit?
If β changes incorrectly, the output would not match the expected performance, leading to errors in analysis.
Very insightful! Remember, accurate labeling and consistent reasoning are vital. To help with this, think of the phrase: 'Stay consistent to avoid resistance!'

Now that we've covered input resistance thoroughly, let's gear up for output resistance. Why do you think it’s important to study output resistance?
Because it will tell us how much of the output signal we can expect based on the load!
Exactly right! Understanding both input and output resistances helps us analyze overall circuit behavior. As we continue, think about this: 'The input sets the stage, but the output delivers the play.'
I like that! It helps remember the roles each resistance plays in the circuit interpretation.
Introduction & Overview
Read summaries of the section's main ideas at different levels of detail.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, we elaborate on the importance of accurately calculating the input resistance in feedback systems, considering additional resistances, and addressing common pitfalls and mistakes. The conclusion also sets the stage for further exploration of output resistance.
Detailed
In this section, we discuss the finite input resistance of feedback systems, emphasizing the dependence on load-affected transimpedance. We detail how to calculate input resistance when multiple resistances are in parallel, highlighting the need to replace Z with its corresponding expression affected by these resistances. The importance of maintaining consistency in symbols, particularly the distinction between β and β′ in feedback calculations, is also stressed. This portion wraps up the discussion on input resistance while foreshadowing a deeper exploration of output resistance, setting the stage for continued learning.

Again I have to make this correction and then if I consider this R it is finite. Then the input resistance of the feedback system it will be given by this where Z′ it is load affected trans impedance. It is basically whatever the attenuation factor we do have here that we need to consider along with the original Z.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we focus on calculating the input resistance of a feedback system. We mention that the resistance (R) in question is finite. The input resistance can be expressed using a variable denoted as Z′, which represents load affected trans impedance. This means that Z′ takes into account both the original value of impedance (Z) and the effect of the attenuation factor in the system. Essentially, input resistance is modified based on these factors.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this like adjusting how well a speaker can deliver sound based on the environment it is in, such as a large versus a small room. The original sound quality (Z) is modified by how much sound is absorbed or reflected (attenuation), much like the impedance changes in a feedback system.

So, why we have to consider these are in parallel that is because this resistance and this resistance they are coming in parallel. So, the voltage getting developed here which is v_o is a reduced version of internally developed voltage.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk explains the concept of parallel resistance in circuits. When we say two or more resistances are in parallel, it means that they share the same voltage across them. This results in a different combined effect on the system's total resistance. In our case, the voltages across the resistances will affect how we interpret v_o, as it's a modified version of the internal voltage created in the circuit. Understanding resistance in parallel is crucial for accurately analyzing and designing circuits.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine two water pipes connected side by side to a water source. If water flows equally through both pipes, the overall flow rate (or current) increases without needing to increase the water pressure. Similarly, in a circuit, putting resistors in parallel allows for a larger overall current without needing a higher voltage.

Now if I consider this also which means if I consider this resistance also then that resistance also coming in parallel. So, I think that is how we can calculate the corresponding input resistance of the feedback system.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk highlights the importance of including all relevant resistances in the input resistance calculation of a feedback system. The author mentions that if we take an additional resistance into account, it also contributes to the total parallel connection. This reiterates the process of summing multiple parallel elements to find the overall input resistance, ensuring accuracy in the system’s analysis.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a team project where multiple team members contribute their ideas. Each idea (like a resistor) adds to the final output, which is the complete project. If one more team member adds their input, the overall quality and scope of the project improve, similar to adding another resistor in parallel enhancing the circuit's overall operation.

Yeah in this case when I explained that we do have R here and this resistance then the input resistance of the feedback system it is (1 + β) + R. This β of course, it should remain unchanged.
Detailed Explanation
In this part, the speaker discusses an important formula related to input resistance, stating that it can be expressed as (1 + β) + R. Here, β represents a feedback factor that influences the input resistance but should remain constant throughout the analysis. Understanding this formula is crucial for predicting how changes will affect the overall input resistance in the system.
Examples & Analogies
Picture a recipe where you have a fixed amount of a key ingredient (like β) that must stay consistent for the dish to taste right, regardless of how many different spices (R) you decide to add. This analogy helps illustrate the importance of keeping certain parameters stable while adjusting others.
Key Concepts
-
Input Resistance: The resistance faced by the input signal in a feedback system.
-
Output Resistance: The resistance offered by the circuit to the load, affecting the signal delivered.
-
Transimpedance: Vital for understanding the response in feedback loops.
-
Feedback Factor (β): Key in determining how feedback affects circuit behavior.
Examples & Applications
Calculating input resistance when two resistances, R1 and R2, are in parallel along with load can be done using the formula Z_in = R1 || R2, factoring in the effect of the feedback.
Incorrect labeling of feedback factors can drastically alter the calculated performance of the output voltage.
