Why is a feedback amplifier's distortion usually specified across the band?

  • A.The measurement equipment is band-limited
  • B.The correction falls as the loop gain rolls off
  • C.The devices' linearity varies across the band
  • D.The load impedance changes with frequency

Answer: B

Because the loop gain falls with frequency, the same amplifier corrects far less at twenty kilohertz than at one, so a single figure would flatter it. Device linearity is roughly constant, load variation is a separate matter that also deserves specifying, and the equipment is adequate. A specification that varies by a factor of ten across the intended band has to be quoted across that band, and a single headline figure should always prompt the question of where it was measured.
