is called the feedback transfer function and represents the fraction of the output voltage that is fed back from the output to the input. Combining the equations above gives: vout A vout = A[ vin vout ]; vout + Avout = Avin ; = Av = vin 1 + A This gives the classic negative feedback amplifier gain expression. The product A is called the loop gain or loop transmission. For A>>1, Av approaches the ideal gain expression found above [=1/]. In reality, A is a function whose value decreases with increasing frequency, until, at some point when A is no longer >>1, the ideal gain equation, a function of only two resistor values, no longer
