When the shunt feedback is employed, the shunt feedback decreases the AC gain of
an amplifier because the returning feedback signal opposes the input signal. We also
observed that the amplifier with shunt feedback has the lesser cut-off frequency. The
high frequency response of the amplifier is further increased by the shunt feedback.
The effect of shunt feedback increases the bandwidth of amplifier because the high
frequency response or the amplifier is also increases. We were able to measure the
cut-off frequencies by adjusting the frequency knob unit the output voltage is
obtained. The bandwidth can be calculated by subtracting the lower frequency to the
upper frequency cut-off.
Observing all the graphs between the series and shunt feedback amplifier, the
waveform of output ac voltage has phase reversal. We observed that in the voltage ac
input with series feedback amplitude is greater than in without series feedback to the
attenuated voltage output of 3 Vpk-pk. We observed also that the output voltage of
without shunt feedback amplitude is greater than in with shut feedback when the
input ac voltage is 220mVpk-pk.
Conclusion
After conducting the experiment, the following conclusions were gathered.
* Feedback means a portion of output signal is returned to the input.
* Characteristics like ac gain, frequency response, linearity and
impedance of amplifiers can be altered by applying feedback.
* Positive or regenerative feedback works for oscillator circuits.
* Negative or degenerative feedback is done to improve its overall
electrical characteristics.
* Negative feedback on amplifiers produces a more linear operation,
lesser noise and a better stabilized gain.
* With feedback, the upper cut-off frequency increases.
* With feedback, the lower cut-off frequency decreases.
* With feedback, the bandwidth is increased.
* The AC gain decreases when shunt feedback is applied.
* The AC gain decreases when series feedback is down.
* Series feedback is employed when there is no longer bypass
capacitor.
* Shunt feedback is employed when the resistor is connected
between R1 and the output
