An amplifier has \( 60 \ \mathrm{dB} \) of loop gain at \( 1 \ \mathrm{kHz} \) and a dominant pole at \( 10 \ \mathrm{Hz} \). Its loop gain at \( 10 \ \mathrm{kHz} \) is about

  • A.40 dB
  • B.60 dB
  • C.20 dB
  • D.80 dB

Answer: A

Above the dominant pole the gain falls twenty decibels per decade:

\[ 60 - 20 = 40 \ \mathrm{dB} \]

giving about 40 dB, so the distortion correction has fallen by a factor of ten over one decade of frequency. That is why distortion measurements are quoted at several frequencies rather than one, and why a figure at a kilohertz says little about behaviour at twenty.
