Theory: In voltage shunt feedback amplifier, sampling is voltage and shunt mixing
indicates current mixing. As input is current signal and output is voltage signal, so it is
said to be trans resistance amplifier with gain Rmf.
Band width is defined as the range frequencies over which gain is greater than or
equal to 0.707 times the maximum gain or up to 3 dB down from the maximum gain.
Bandwidth (BW) = fh - fl. where
fh = Upper cutoff frequency and
fl = Lower cutoff frequency.
Cutoff frequency is the frequency at which the gain is 0.707 times the maximum gain or
3dB down from the maximum gain.
In all feedback amplifiers we use negative feedback, so gain is reduced and bandwidth is
increased.
Rmf.= Rm /[1+ Rm β]
BWf.= BW [1+ Rmβ]
Where
Rmf. = Gain with feedback
Rm= Gain with out feedback
β= feedback gain.
BWf = Bandwidth with feedback and
BW = Bandwidth without feedback
Output resistance and input resistance both will decrease due to shunt
connections at input and output. So
R0f=R0/[1+Av β] and Rif=Ri/[1+Av β]
Where R0f = Output resistance with feedback
R0 = Output resistance without feedback.
Rif = Input resistance with feedback
Ri = Input resistance without feedback
Procedure:
1. Connect the components as per the circuit diagram.
2. Observe the input and output waveforms in Channels A and B of Cathode
Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) simultaneously.
3. Draw the waveforms with their amplitudes and time periods.
4. Observe the phase difference between input and output.
5. Perform AC analysis and obtain frequency response plot with maximum gain,
lower and upper cutoff frequencies and bandwidth.
6. Perform post process and obtain frequency response plot with maximum gain
in decibles, lower and upper cutoff frequencies and bandwidth.
7. Compare results of steps 5 and 6.
