Using Positive FeedbackUsing Positive Feedback• The gain with positive feedback is given as

• By making 1 – Aβ = 0, or Aβ = 1, we get gain as infinity.

• This condition (Aβ = 1) is known as Barkhausen Criterion of oscillations.

• It means you get output without any input !


How is it Possible ?How is it Possible ?

Connecting point x to y, feedback voltage drives the amplifier.


• What happens to the output ?

• There are three possibilities.


(1) If Aβ < 1, we get decaying of damped oscillations.


(2) If Aβ > 1, we get growing oscillations.


(3) If Aβ = 1, we get sustained oscillations. In this case, the circuit supplies its own input signal.

1.1. Initially tungsten lamp has low resistance; Initially tungsten lamp has low resistance; giving low negative feedback.giving low negative feedback.

2.2. Thus, loop gain Thus, loop gain Aβ is greater than unity.3. As oscillations are built up, the tungsten

lamp heats up increasing its resistance.4. Negative feedback increase to make Aβ =

resistance of the lamp increases to exactly RRt t , so that the gain becomes :, so that the gain becomes :


• At resonance, the voltage ratio or feedback factor of the lead-lag circuit is 1/3.

• Therefore, loop gain becomes unity.

• The oscillation frequency is the same as that of the lead-lag circuit,
