    The mixer network generates an output which is the difference of input signals. Hence, 'Xc' is known as the difference or error signal.

    Generally, the signal 'Xd' gets multiplied by 'A' when it is passed through an amplifier. The same signal again gets multiplied by 'β',when it is passed through the feedback network .

    Also, the signal 'Xd' gets multiplied by '-1' especially when it passes through the mixing network. Even, the signal gets multiplied by '-Aβ' while traveling on the path in order to obtain the loop gain.
