Op Amps: Discrete Negative Feedback, Part 1

Along with op amps, negative feedback can also be applied globally to multistage amplifiers using discrete devices. In part 1, we examine a basic two-stage amplifier using BJTs. Negative feedback produces obvious effects on the system gain, distortion, frequency response, and impedances.
