Voltage-Series Feedback

Vo = A*Vi = A(Vs – Vf) = A*Vs – A*Vf = A*Vs – A(βA)Vo

(1 + βA)Vo = A*Vs
Vo/Vs = A/(1 + βA)

Voltage-Series – with input and output resistances

Voltage-series feedback - Avf, Zif, Zof

Avf = Vo/Vs

Vo = A*Vi

Vi = Vs – Bf*Vo

Vo = A*(Vs – Bf*Vo)

Vo(1 + A*Bf) = A*Vs

Vo/Vs = A/(1 + A*Bf)

Zif = Vs/Is
Vs – Vi – Bf*Vo = 0

Vi = Is*Zi

Vo = A*Vi

so,
Vs – Is*Zi – Bf*A*Is*Zi = 0

Vs/Is = Zi(1 + Bf*A)

Zof

Disconnect RL and replace with Vx

Zof = Vx/Ix

Vx = Ix*Zo + A*Vi

Vi = -Vf = -B*Vx

Vx = Ix*Zo + A(-B*Vx)
Vx(1 + BA) = Ix*Zo
Zof = Vx/Ix = Zo/(1 + BA)

Zif = Vs/Is

Vs = Ii*Zi

Is = Ii + B*Io

= Ii + B*A*Ii

Is = (Vs/Zi)(1 + BA)

Vs/Is = Zi/(1 + BA)

 Now disconnect RL and replace with Vx

Realize that Zo is in parallel with the A*Ii = Io source,

Zof = Vx/Ix

Vx = (Io + Ix)*Zo

A*Ii – Vx/Zo = Io = - Ix

A*(-B*-Ix) – Vx/Zo = -Ix

(B*A + 1)Ix = Vx/Zo

Zf = Vx/Ix = Zo(1 + B*A)
