a.
A1 and A2 are single-pole amplifiers as shown in FIGURE Q2a. There is a resistive feedback network (which is independent of frequency). The DC gain, Av, and poles of A1 and A2 are K1, P1 and K2, P2, respectively.
i.
Under what condition will this feedback amplifier be stable? Explain your answer.

A third amplifier, A3, is added as shown in FIGURE Q2b. The DC gain, Av, and pole of A are K3 and P3, respectively. Given K1=K2=K=10, P1=10^4 rad/s, P2=10 rad/s, and P3=10^7 rad/s, respectively, select ω so that the feedback amplifier has a phase margin of 45. Next, find the DC gain, Av, of the feedback amplifier.
