For the input resistance, we apply a test current i ti while setting i to to zero. We can<br />

use Equation (4.9) to simplify the expression for the input resistance<br />

Equation (4.10) is consistent with our knowledge that feedback increases the input<br />

resistance by a factor of ( 1 + Av) . For the output resistance, we set the input voltage<br />

vi to zero and apply test current ito . With = 0 , the feedback loop from vo to<br />

In addition to determining the port impedances of general circuit networks, DPI/<br />

SFG analysis is particularly effective for analyzing feedback amplifiers. In this sec-<br />

tion, we illustrate how Blackman’s Impedance Formula can be derived using DPI/<br />

SFG analysis. Although other derivations using signal-flow graphs exist<br />

[Robichaud,1961], the following derivation uses DPI/SFG analysis to derive the sig-<br />
