The response is a gain-vs-frequency graph; with negative feedback the curve is lower (less gain) but wider (more bandwidth).
The frequency response of an amplifier is a plot of its voltage gain against frequency (on a log frequency scale). It has a flat mid-band region bounded by two 3 dB (0.707 of maximum) frequencies — the lower cut-off and the upper cut-off — and the bandwidth is .
When the same amplifier is drawn with negative feedback, two changes appear:
- The peak gain falls from to , because .
- The band widens: the lower cut-off moves down to and the upper cut-off moves up to , so the new bandwidth is . …
