2.4.1 Transistor Feedback Amplifier: A Comparative Example<br />

Nodal <strong>Analysis</strong><br />

To illustrate and compare these three circuit analysis techniques, consider the<br />

two-stage feedback amplifier taken from [Rosenstark,1986] 3 and shown in Figure<br />

2.13. Assuming the transistors have a transconductance = 100mS and<br />

β = 100<br />

, let us determine the input and output resistance as well as the voltage<br />

gain of the amplifier.<br />

We proceed by deriving a small-signal circuit and determining a set of nodal<br />

equations using KCL at nodes 1, 2, 3, and v o . The resulting relations can be<br />

expressed in the following state-space equation:<br />
