The root locus method of feedback amplifier analysis is applied in order to obtain maximum possible gain from a simple circuit configuration consistent with additional requirements of fast rise time, stable gain, monotonic step response, linearity, and fast recovery from overload. Coarse gain control may be realized by changing the feedback factor of such an amplifier; this eliminates distortions which may otherwise occur at low gain settings in the stage preceding the gain control and simultaneously increases the loop gain. Two practical design examples are given, with an over-all gain of 50,000 and 2,000, respectively. (auth)
