Interpretation of Results
In the first part of the laboratory experiment, the given series
feedback amplifier circuit was connected and the positive variable
supply was set to 10V and the potentiometer R3 was adjusted for a Q1
collector voltage of 5.5VDC. The operating DC voltages of Q1 were
measured
From the data gathered in first part of the laboratory experiment in table
7-1a DC voltages of series-feedback amplifier, the following DC
voltages of the JFET amplifier were measured using the digital
multimeter: the operating voltage supply voltage (V cc), the collector
voltage (VC), the base voltage (VB) and the emitter voltage (VE).
The AC voltages of the series-feedback amplifier namely the input
voltage (VIN) and output voltage (VOUT) were also determined and were
used to compute the voltage gain (A V) for both with series-feedback and
without series-feedback amplifier condition.
The Frequency response of the amplifier specifically the
lower cut-off frequency (fL), the upper cut-off frequency (fU) and
bandwidth were also determined for either with series-feedback or
without series-feedback amplifier condition. The resulting output signal
waveforms of the amplifier with series-feedback and without series-
feedback were graphed and shown in graph 7-1.
On part 2 of the experiment in table 7-2a, 7-2b and 7-2c, the same
procedures as in part 1 were done except that instead of using a series
feedback, the behavior of the amplifier was observed both with shunt
feedback and without shunt feedback. The DC voltages, AC voltages
and the output signal graphs were also obtained.
Conclusion
In this laboratory experiment titled as “Feedback amplifier”, the
principles and ideas behind the feedback amplifiers with different
conditions namely with series-feedback, without series-feedback, with
shunt feedback and without shunt feedback were understood fully with
the use of practical tests and simulations and be able to learn the
connections of the different feedback amplifier circuit and determined
their corresponding output voltages and voltage gains. And knew the
locations where to measure the input and output signals in all of the
circuit configurations either with or without series-feedback and either
with or without shunt feedback condition of the amplifier. We are also
be able to determine the relationship of the input and output signals of
the feedback amplifier with or without series-feedback and with or
without shunt feedback. The following information were also known:
 Feedback means a portion of output signal is returned to the input.
 The two basic categories of feedback depending on the relative
phase angle of returning feedback signal. Positive or regenerative
feedback works for oscillator circuits. However for amplifiers,
negative or degenerative feedback is don’t to improve its overall
electrical characteristics.
 Some of the characteristics of amplifiers altered by feedback are
AC gain, frequency response, linearity and impedance.
 Negative feedback on amplifiers produces a more linear operation,
lesser noise and a better stabilized gain.
 AC gain is greater without series feedback than that of without
series feedback but the bandwidth is greater without series
feedback than that of with series feedback.
 AC gain is greater without shunt feedback than that of without
shunt feedback but the bandwidth is greater without shunt
feedback than that of with shunt feedback.
 It is very essential to know the effects of employing series
feedback and shunt feedback to amplifier circuits for future designs,
prototypes and real life applications with a given parameter or condition.
