释义 | > as lemmaspositive feedback 1. The return of a fraction of the output signal from one stage of a circuit, amplifier, etc., to the input of the same or a preceding stage (see also quot. 19232); positive feedback, negative feedback, tending to increase, decrease, the amplification, etc.; also, a signal so returned.

Encycl. Electr. Engin. 289/1 The feedback principle is applied in electronic amplifiers, process controls and accurate servo-mechanisms. positive feedback positive feedback n. feedback which tends to cause an increase in the output signal, or (more widely) which tends to amplify the effect of which it is part; (in extended use) affirmative critical response; cf. negative feedback n. at negative adj., adv.2, and int. Compounds. ΚΠ 1934 H. S. Black in Bell Syst. Techn. Jrnl. 13 5 1/(1–μβ) will be used as a quantitative measure of the effect of feedback and the feedback referred to as positive feedback or negative feedback according as the absolute value of 1/(1–μβ) is greater or less than unity. Positive feedback increases the gain of the amplifier; negative feedback reduces it. 1962 J. H. Simpson & R. S. Richards Physical Princ. Junction Transistors ix. 210 In extreme cases this positive feedback may lead to a catastrophic increase in temperature—a phenomenon commonly called ‘thermal runaway’. 1973 Chicago Tribune 13 Jan. 12/1 The woman who stays home begins to depend on her husband and children for positive feedback about herself. 1994 Amer. Scientist Oct. 419/1 There is a positive feedback loop at work here. If a document makes use of devices that do not work on paper, then people will read it on the computer; if people read documents on the computer, then authors will be liberated to exploit devices that do not work on paper. 2004 Independent 30 Sept. (Educ. section) 5/2 The report gave positive feedback on music, ICT, equal opportunities and extra-curricular activities, but the main concerns were behaviour and attendance. < as lemmas |
