Question: a current - mirror - loaded differential amplifier to which the series - shunt feedback is applied through the voltage divider ( R 1 ,

a current-mirror-loaded differential amplifier to which the series-shunt
feedback is applied through the voltage divider (R1, R2) where R1+R2=470k. All MOSFETs have |VA|=6V and are operational at |VOV |=0.15V.
(a) Find gm and ro.
(b) Carefully explain where you would break the circuit to compute A and draw the new circuit. Indicate where Vt is and where you would measure Vr. Please provide a neat circuit. Use a circuit drawing software or use straight lines if you are drawing it manually
(this applies for the entire project).
(c) Compute the numerical value of Vd2,4
Vt .
Hint: which also happens to be the gain of a differential amplifier (Ch 9).
(d) Find the loop-gain A in terms of and finally the numerical value of A.
(e) Find the values of R1 and R2 that result in a non-ideal closed-loop gain of exactly 6 V/V.
(f) In MATLAB/Python, plot the closed-loop gain as a function of R2. Indicate R2 where Af is 6 V/V. Does this match your results from part (e)?
