This project focuses on studying the consequences of negative feedback in amplifiers, exploring configurations with and without feedback to illuminate the impacts on system behavior.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the role of feedback in electronic systems and its implications on system performance.
  • Analyze amplifier configurations to observe the effects of feedback mechanisms.
  • Use LTspice® for simulation and MATLAB® for data analysis.

Technologies

  • LTspice® for circuit simulation.
  • MATLAB® for data processing and simulation analysis.

Topics Covered

  • Dessensitization of gain due to feedback.
  • Reduction of non-linear distortion and noise.
  • Control over input and output resistances.
  • Bandwidth enhancement of amplifiers.

Analyze a proximity detection system based on the principles similar to the Park-Aid circuit, which aids in vehicle parking by detecting nearby obstacles using sensors.

Learning Objectives
