Title: Study of Feedback Amplifier Circuit.

Abstract : The main goal of this experiment is to find out the effect of negative feedback on the
frequency response of amplifier circuit by doing hardware and simulation.
Introduction : The impact of negative feedback on the input-output impedance and bandwidth of
voltage series and current series feedback amplifiers is investigated in this experiment. For this,
we're employing a two-stage amplifier. Experimentally, the frequency response curve of the
amplifier without feedback is displayed first. The frequency response curves of voltage and
current series feedback amplifiers are then displayed experimentally. Following that, the impact of
negative feedback on the frequency response is investigated.
Theory and Methodology: When any increase in the output signal results in the input in such a
way as to cause the decrease in the output signal, the amplifier is said to have negative feedback.
The advantages of providing negative feedback are that the transfer gain of the amplifier with
feedback can be stabilized against variations in the hybrid parameters of the transistor or the
parameters of the other active devices used in the circuit. The most advantage of the negative
feedback is that by proper use of this, there is significant improvement in the frequency response
and in the linearity of the operation of the amplifier. The disadvantage of the negative feedback is
that the voltage gain is decreased. In Voltage-Series feedback, the input impedance of the
amplifier is decreased and the output impedance is increased. Noise and distortions are reduced
considerably. In Current-Series feedback, the input impedance of the amplifier is decreased and
the output impedance is decreased. Noise and distortions are reduced considerably.

Procedure :

1. The amplifier circuit was connected as per the provided schematic diagram.
2. Point P was connected to ground to configure the circuit without feedback.
3. A sinusoidal input signal of 1 kHz frequency and 20 mV peak-to-peak amplitude was applied from the
function generator.
4. The amplitude of the input signal was kept constant throughout the experiment.
5. The input frequency was gradually increased in steps.
6. The corresponding output voltage (Vo) was measured for each frequency step.
7. The voltage gain was calculated using the expression: Av (dB) = 20 log(Vo / Vi).
8. A 10K potentiometer was connected to the output terminal. The resistance value was noted when the
output voltage dropped to half of the open-circuit voltage, representing the output impedance.
9. For the current-series feedback configuration, points P and Q were connected, and steps 2 to 8 were
repeated.
10. For the voltage-series feedback configuration, points P, Q, and R were connected, and steps 2 to 8
were repeated.
11. Frequency response curves were plotted for all three configurations, with frequency on the x-axis
and gain (dB) on the y-axis using a semi-log graph paper.
12. The bandwidth of each configuration was determined using the formula: Bandwidth (BW) = f2 - f1,
where f1 is the lower cut-off frequency and f2 is the upper cut-off frequency.

Discussion:
The impact of negative feedback on the input-output impedance and bandwidth of voltage series
and current series feedback amplifiers was studied in this experiment. The amplifier's frequency
response curve is first plotted experimentally without feedback. Following that, frequency
response curves of voltage series and current series feedback amplifiers are plotted experimentally.
The frequency response curve was plotted, and the gain voltage was calculated with extreme
caution. During the hardware implementation, several unknown challenges arose. Finally, we
assumed that there might be some concerns with the circuit implementation or the hardware.
Conclusion :
Feedback amplifier circuits are used in a wide range of applications, including audio amplifiers, power
amplifiers, and operational amplifiers (op-amps). Op-amps are particularly important, as they are
widely used in electronic circuits to perform a variety of functions, such as amplification, filtering, and
signal conditioning. Overall, feedback amplifier circuits are an essential component of many electronic
systems, providing stability and reducing distortion in a wide range of applications.
