1. Define Thermal noise and Flicker noise.

The Thermal noise is a electronic noise generated by the thermal agitation of
the electrons inside an electrical conductor at equilibrium.” In other words, it means that
noise is always generated when a current is passed through the resistor.
Flicker noise is found in carbon-composition resistors and in thick-film
resistors, where it is referred to as excess noise, since it increases the overall noise level
above the thermal noise level, which is present in all resistors. In contrast, wire-wound
resistors have the least amount of flicker noise.

2. Define Noise Spectrum.

Electrical noise is a high-frequency interference in the frequency spectrum of 7000
Hz to over 50 MHz. Noise can be transmitted and picked up by a power cord acting as an
antenna, or it can be carried through the power line.

Therefore, the noise power spectral density expressed in V 2 / Hz is obtained as

follows.
S n = P n W = σ X 2 + σ Y 2 2 B = 1 2 ( σ X 2 B + σ Y 2 B ) = 1 2 ( S X + S Y ) where
and are the PSD of noise components and , respectively.

3. Draw a circuit of Noise in Single Stage Amplifier

4. What are the Properties of Feedback Circuits?
i) Gain Sensitivity.
ii) Bandwidth Extension
iii) Reduce Noise Effect
iv) Reduce Nonlinear Distortion.
v) Control Input – output Impedance.

5. Define PSRR.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is the ability of an amplifier to maintain
its output voltage as its DC power-supply voltage is varied. PSRR = (change in
Vcc)/(change in Vout) See also: Ripple rejection, which is degree of immunity from AC in
the power supply.

6. Write the advantages of one and two stage Op-Amps

One stage Op-Amps
It is most convenient and least expensive amplifier. It provides high audio fidelity. It has
low amplitude distortion. It provides low frequency distortion.
Two stage Op-Amps
Two-stage operational amplifiers are the most common used multistage amplifier because
it can provide high gain and high output swing. However, an uncompensated two-stage
operational amplifier has a two-pole transfer function, and these are located below the
unity gain frequency.

7. Define Gain boosting.

Gain boosting method, which is applied to increase the output impedance, a
high output impedance is achieved using the gain boosting method.

8. Write some applications of feedback.

i) Widespread in the design of electronic components such as amplifiers,
ii) Oscillators,
iii) logic circuit elements such as flip-flops and counters.

9. What is the effect of loading in feedback network?

The loading effect is the degree to which a measurement instrument impacts

electrical properties like the voltage, current, and resistance of a circuit. In general, the
resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinite so that the voltmeter does not alter the circuit
current.
10.Write various types of noise that affect performance of Op Amp.

There are a number of noise sources within an op amp

i) resistor noise,
ii) current noise,
iii) KT/C noise, etc.
but it is customary to model them externally as a voltage noise which appears
differentially across the two inputs and two current noise sources, one in each input.
