Advantages
- This model is useful because it completely characterizes feedback amplifiers, including loading effects and the bilateral properties of amplifiers and feedback networks.
- Often feedback amplifiers are designed such that the return ratio is much greater than unity. In this case, and assuming the direct transmission term is small (as it often is), the gain of the system is approximately equal to the asymptotic gain G∞.
- The asymptotic gain is (usually) only a function of passive elements in a circuit, and can often be found by inspection.
- The feedback topology (series-series, series-shunt, etc.) need not be identified beforehand as the analysis is the same in all cases.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:
“If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“To become aware in time when young of the advantages of age; to maintain the advantages of youth in old age: both are pure fortune.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
