General expressions are derived for the increase in the input admittance due to feedback, for the conditions for stability, and for the gain, as functions of the various parameters of the tube and the associated circuits. These expressions are then examined in some detail. Two specific results of especial interest are given: the case of feedback through a parallel path of susceptance and conductance, and the conditions which result when the transfer admittance consists not only of a real part but also of an imaginary part.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"SECTION00051000000000000000\"><\/a>The network of a single-stage amplifier circuit<\/h2>\n<p>A single-stage amplifier circuit is shown in Figure 1.5. The amplifier consists of a transistor, the circuit for matching the source termination and the transistor, and that for matching the load termination and the transistor. The biasing circuit is ignored for brevity. The source and load terminations are usually 50\u00a0<img alt=\"tex2html_wrap_inline2807\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eie.polyu.edu.hk\/~martin\/rfmsc\/img16.gif\" width=\"10\" height=\"11\" align=\"BOTTOM\" \/>.
