  2. Carrier-sense multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple_access

    P-persistent This approach lies between the 1-persistent and non-persistent CSMA access modes. [1] When the transmitting node is ready to transmit data, it senses the transmission medium for idle or busy. If idle, then it transmits immediately. If busy, then it senses the transmission medium continuously until it becomes idle, then transmits ...

  3. Negative-feedback amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-feedback_amplifier

    Paul Voigt patented a negative feedback amplifier in January 1924, though his theory lacked detail. [4] Harold Stephen Black independently invented the negative-feedback amplifier while he was a passenger on the Lackawanna Ferry (from Hoboken Terminal to Manhattan) on his way to work at Bell Laboratories (located in Manhattan instead of New Jersey in 1927) on August 2, 1927 [5] (US Patent ...

  4. Blackman's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackman's_theorem

    Blackman's theorem is a general procedure for calculating the change in an impedance due to feedback in a circuit. It was published by Ralph Beebe Blackman in 1943, [1] was connected to signal-flow analysis by John Choma, and was made popular in the extra element theorem by R. D. Middlebrook and the asymptotic gain model of Solomon Rosenstark.

  5. Asymptotic gain model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_gain_model

    See the article on negative feedback amplifier and references by Meyer or Sedra. [8] [9] That is, the amplifier uses current feedback. It frequently is ambiguous just what type of feedback is involved in an amplifier, and the asymptotic gain approach has the advantage/disadvantage that it works whether or not you understand the circuit.

  6. Frequency compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_compensation

    This is because the feedback signal will reinforce the input signal. That is, the feedback is then positive rather than negative. Frequency compensation is implemented to avoid this result. Another goal of frequency compensation is to control the step response of an amplifier circuit as shown in Figure 1. For example, if a step in voltage is ...

  7. Negative feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback

    A simple negative feedback system is descriptive, for example, of some electronic amplifiers. The feedback is negative if the loop gain AB is negative.. Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by ...

  8. Barkhausen stability criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkhausen_stability_criterion

    Barkhausen's criterion applies to linear circuits with a feedback loop. It cannot be applied directly to active elements with negative resistance like tunnel diode oscillators. The kernel of the criterion is that a complex pole pair must be placed on the imaginary axis of the complex frequency plane if steady state oscillations should take ...

  9. Return ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_ratio

    Figure 1 (top right) shows a bipolar amplifier with feedback bias resistor R f driven by a Norton signal source. Figure 2 (left panel) shows the corresponding small-signal circuit obtained by replacing the transistor with its hybrid-pi model. The objective is to find the return ratio of the dependent current source in this amplifier. [9]
