In a Current Shunt Feedback Amplifier:

  • The output current is sampled.
  • The feedback signal is applied in parallel (shunt) with input.

This configuration is commonly used in Current Amplifiers.


Closed Loop Gain Derivation

Let:

  • A = Open loop current gain
  • β = Feedback factor
  • Af = Closed loop gain

Feedback current:

If = βIo

Input current becomes:

Ii = Is − If

Output current:

Io = A Ii

Substitute:

Io = A(Is − βIo)

Rearranging:

Io(1 + Aβ) = AIs

Closed loop gain:

Af = Io / Is = A / (1 + Aβ)


Input Resistance with Feedback

Since feedback is applied in parallel, input resistance decreases.

Rif = Ri / (1 + Aβ)


Output Resistance with Feedback

Current sampling increases output resistance.

Rof = Ro (1 + Aβ)


Key Characteristics

  • Input resistance decreases
  • Output resistance increases
  • Gain stabilizes
  • Bandwidth improves

Important GATE Points

  • Current Shunt Feedback → Current Amplifier
  • Closed loop gain = A / (1 + Aβ)
  • Input resistance decreases
  • Output resistance increases
