Blackman's theorem is a general procedure for calculating the change in an impedance due to feedback in a circuit. It was published by Ralph Beebe Blackman in 1943,[1] was connected to signal-flow analysis by John Choma, and was made popular in the extra element theorem by R. D. Middlebrook and the asymptotic gain model of Solomon Rosenstark.[2][3][4][5] Blackman's approach leads to the formula for the impedance Z between two selected terminals of a negative feedback amplifier as Blackman's formula:

where ZD = impedance with the feedback disabled, TSC = loop transmission with a small-signal short across the selected terminal pair, and TOC = loop transmission with an open circuit across the terminal pair.[6] The loop transmission also is referred to as the return ratio.[7][8] Blackman's formula can be compared with Middlebrook's result for the input impedance Zin of a circuit based upon the extra-element theorem:[4][9][10]

where:

is the impedance of the extra element; is the input impedance with removed (or made infinite); is the impedance seen by the extra element with the input shorted (or made zero); is the impedance seen by the extra element with the input open (or made infinite).

Blackman's formula also can be compared with Choma's signal-flow result:[11]

where is the value of under the condition that a selected parameter P is set to zero, return ratio is evaluated with zero excitation and is for the case of short-circuited source resistance. As with the extra-element result, differences are in the perspective leading to the formula.[10]
