  2. Negative-feedback amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-feedback_amplifier

    A negative-feedback amplifier (or feedback amplifier) is an electronic amplifier that subtracts a fraction of its output from its input, so that negative feedback opposes the original signal. [1] The applied negative feedback can improve its performance (gain stability, linearity, frequency response, step response ) and reduces sensitivity to ...

  3. Differentiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiator

    A differentiator circuit (also known as a differentiating amplifier or inverting differentiator) consists of an ideal operational amplifier with a resistor R providing negative feedback and a capacitor C at the input, such that: is the voltage across C (from the op amp's virtual ground negative terminal).

  4. 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 ...

  5. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger's output voltage through a RC network to its input.. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1] [2] [3] powered by a direct current (DC) source.

  6. Frequency compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_compensation

    In electronics engineering, frequency compensation is a technique used in amplifiers, and especially in amplifiers employing negative feedback.It usually has two primary goals: To avoid the unintentional creation of positive feedback, which will cause the amplifier to oscillate, and to control overshoot and ringing in the amplifier's step response.

  7. Parasitic oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_oscillation

    Parasitic oscillation in an amplifier stage occurs when part of the output energy is coupled into the input, with the correct phase and amplitude to provide positive feedback at some frequency. The coupling can occur directly between input and output wiring with stray capacitance or mutual inductance between input and output.

  8. Harold Stephen Black - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Stephen_Black

    This amplifier design improved, but did not solve, the problems of transcontinental telecommunication. [2] After years of work Black invented the negative feedback amplifier which uses negative feedback to reduce the gain of a high-gain, non-linear amplifier and makes it act as a low-gain, linear amplifier with much lower noise and distortion.

  9. 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 ...
