Feedback:
Process of injecting a portion of small energy from
output to input of some device or circuit, is known as
Feedback.
It is used in reducing noise and making amplifier
operation stable.
Depending upon whether feedback signal adds or
opposes the input, it has two types.
1. Negative Feedback.
2. Positive Feedback.
Feedback Amplifier:
Positive Feedback:
When feedback energy and input are in phase they
add and it is called positive feedback.
Since amplifier produces 180 phase shift and feedback
circuitry provide further 180 phase shift, so at input,
Vin and Vfb both have 0 or 360 degrees phase shift,
thus adding each other.
RC pole are used in feedback circuitry for phase
shifting.
Single RC pole give 60 degrees phase shift.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Positive Feedback:
Main advantage of positive feedback is that it increases
the voltage gain.
Oscillators employ positive feedback technique.
When feedback is large, oscillations are sustained.
It is also known as Regenerative or Direct feedback.
Following are the disadvantages of Positive Feedback.
Increased Distortion.
Increased Noise.
Gain instability.
Negative Feedback:
It is a type of feedback in which there is 180 phase shift
between input and output.
Amplifier has 180, phase shift, where as feedback
circuit has 0 degree phase shift.
It is degenerative or inverse feedback.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Negative Feedback:
Advantages:
• No Distortion.
• Stable Gain.
• No noise.
• Linear operation.
• Increased Bandwidth.
• Less Harmonics.
• Input and output impedances modified.
• Phase shift 180.
Disadvantage:
• Low Gain.
