(a) BJT phase-Shift oscillator (b) Equivalent circuit

Chapter Outline

The concepts introduced in this chapter are:

  • Positive feedback in amplifier circuits
  • Condition and frequency of sinusoidal oscillations
  • Various types of oscillator circuits
  • Amplitude and frequency stability of sinusoidal oscillators
11.1 INTRODUCTION

Generation of sinusoidal oscillations of a given frequency is highly essential in any electronic circuit. Using the concept of positive feedback generates such sinusoidal oscillations. Active devices such as transistor, FET or Op-Amp (operational amplifier) are employed in the generation ...
