Why does degeneration reduce distortion?

  • A.It lowers the operating current and so the non-linearity
  • B.It removes the harmonics by filtering them at the emitter
  • C.It linearises the transfer characteristic through feedback
  • D.It reduces the signal amplitude reaching the device's base

Answer: C

Series feedback makes the stage's gain depend on a resistor ratio rather than on the device's curved characteristic, so the non-linearity is divided down along with the gain. The amplitude at the base is actually reduced as a consequence, which is part of the same effect rather than a separate one. It does not change the current or filter anything. Feedback trades gain for every kind of accuracy at once, and linearity is one of the benefits.
