ANALYSIS OF TRANSISTOR FEEDBACK AMPLIFIERS
Steps In Analyzing Transistor Feedback Amplifiers
L. Identify the topology.
2. Detemiine whether the feedback is positive or negative
3. Open the loop and calculate A, B, Rj, and Ro,
4. Use the Table to find Af, Ri¢ and Rof or Ap, Rip, and Rop.
5. Use the information in 4.) to find whatever is required (Voud/Vin, Rin, Rout €tC.)

RULES FOR IDENTIFYING POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
1. Identify the feedback loop by tracing its path on the diagram. If there are alternate
paths, always choose the path with the highest loop gain. (Remember that a signal can go
in the "I" of "U" terminal of a transistor and can only come out the "O" or “U" terminal.)
2. At any point on the feedback loop, assume the signal is positive and put a "+" mark
at that point. Trace the signal around the loop remembering that the signal only inverts
when it goes in a "I" terminal and out the "O" terminal of a transistor. All other paths
through a transistor do not invert (ie., "I" to "U" and "U" to "O").
3. When you have traced the polarity of the signal around the feedback loop back to the
point where you placed the "+", the feedback is negative if the signal polarity is "-" and
positive if the signal polarity is "+".
