Which limitation arises on an amplifier when its transfer function's phase margin approaches zero?

💡 Explanation

Unstable oscillations will start appearing because positive feedback increases as the phase margin nears zero, meaning gain at the feedback frequency causes uncontrolled amplification via Barkhausen criterion; therefore oscillation arises rather than other distortions because the feedback overcomes damping constraints.
