THEORY
In voltage shunt feedback amplifier, a small portion of the output voltage is
coupled back to the input voltage. Since feedback network is in parallel with the input
resistance of the amplifier at the input end and series on the output end, hence input
impedance is reduced and the output impedance is increased with negative feedback.
Also The resistances of R1, R2, R3, and Rf (Rfeedback) function together as a signal-
mixing network so that the voltage seen at the base of the transistor (with respect to
ground) is a weighted average of the input voltage and the feedback voltage, resulting
in a signal of reduced amplitude going into the transistor. So, the amplifier circuit in
the figure above will have reduced voltage gain, but improved linearity (reduced
distortion) and increased bandwidth. The Design Equations and the operation will
resemble as like common emitter amplifier as mentioned din Experiment 1.
PROCEDURE
BANDWIDTH CALCULATION
BW = fC2 (upper cut off frequency) – fC1 (lower cut off frequency)
INFERENCES
The feedback reduces the gain and increases the bandwidth.
RESULT
Thus, the voltage shunt amplifier circuit was designed and constructed. The frequency
response was observed and the parameters are calculated and tabulated.
