  2. Fully develop the two-port approach to the analysis of negative feedback amplifiers
  3. Understand the topologies and characteristics of the series-shunt, shunt-shunt, shunt-series, and series-series feedback configurations
  4. Discuss common errors that can occur in applying the two-port feedback theory
  5. Understand the effects of feedback on frequency response and feedback amplifier stability
  6. Learn to interpret feedback amplifier stability in terms of Nyquist and Bode plots
  7. Use SPICE ac and transfer function analyses to characterize feedback amplifiers
  8. Develop techniques to determine the loop-gain of closed-loop amplifiers using SPICE simulation or measurement
  9. Discuss the Barkhausen criteria for oscillation
  10. Understand basic RC, LC, and crystal oscillator circuits
  11. Present the LCR model of the quartz crystal
  12. Discuss amplitude stabilization in oscillators
