Thongvanh 1 Purpose
In this lab we observe how the use of feedback influences the stability of an amplifier and what
measures can be taken to improve this effect. To make said observations, we experiment with and
manipulate the compensator network in Figure 1.

Lab Assignment
We are given the Laplace transfer function of Figure 1 as A(s), Equation 1, and that L(s) is the
function as shown in Equation 2.

A(s) =

(1+ 10−4 s)(1+ 10−6 s)
L(s) =

R2
A(s) = R ⋅ A(s)
R1 + R2
Eq. 2
First we use MatLab to verify the Bode plot of A(s) and L(s). Then we verify the phase margin and
step-response of T(s), Equation 3. (See Appendix A2 for derivation of T(s)).

Now we improve the response using a lead compensator system. The improved system is shown in
Figure 6.

Thongvanh 3 Lastly we find a value for the capacitor in the improved compensator network. To do so we find
the transfer function for the network itself (Equation 4), play with numbers for the capacitor value,
and observe the values' effects on L(s).

Conclusion
The purpose of this lab was to observe how the use of feedback influences the stability of an
amplifier and what measures can be taken to improve this effect. We observe changes in phase of
L(s) when changing the capacitor in the compensator network. I would choose the 10 pF capacitor.

Given R=R2/(R1+R2)
Vo(s) = A(s)(Vp(s)−Vn(s))=A(s)(Vp(s)−RVo(s))
