OSCILLATOR OPERATION
The use of positive feedback that results in a feedback amplifier having closed-loop gainAf
greater than 1 and satisfies the phase conditions will result in operation as an oscillatorcircuit. An
oscillator circuit then provides a varying output signal. If the output signal variessinusoidally, the
circuit is referred to as a sinusoidal oscillator. If the output voltagerises quickly to one voltage
level and later drops quickly to another voltage level, the circuitis generally referred to as a pulse
or square-wave oscillator.
To understand how a feedback circuit performs as an oscillator, consider the feedbackcircuit of
Figure 1. When the switch at the amplifier input is open, no oscillation occurs.Consider that we
have a fictitious voltage at the amplifier input V i . This results in an outputvoltage Vo = AVi
after the amplifier stage and in a voltage Vf = β(AVi) after the feedbackstage. Thus, we have a
feedback voltage Vf = βAVi, where βA is referred to as the loopgain. If the circuits of the base
amplifier and feedback network provide βA of a correctmagnitude and phase, V f can be made
equal to Vi . Then, when the switch is closed andthe fictitious voltage V i is removed, the circuit
will continue operating since the feedbackvoltage is sufficient to drive the amplifier and
feedback circuits, resulting in a proper inputvoltage to sustain the loop operation. The output
waveform will still exist after the switchis closed if the condition
βA=1
is met. This is known as the Barkhausen criterion for oscillation.

The Phase-Shift
Shift Oscillator
.Each of the three RC
Figure 2 shows a sinusoidal feedback oscillator called the phase-shift oscillator.Each
circuits in the feedback loop can provide a maximum phase shift approaching90°. Oscillation occurs at
the frequency where the total phase shift through thethree RC circuits is 180°. The inversion of the op
op-
amp itself providess the additional 180° tomeet the requirement for oscillation of a 360° (or 0°) phase
shift around the feedback loop.

To meet the greater-than-unity


unity loop gain requirement, the closed-loop
closed loop voltage gain of the op
op-amp must be
greater than 29. (set by Rf andR3). The frequency of oscillation is also fond in the following equation,

where R1 = R2 = R3 = R and C1 = C2 = C3 = C.

Calculations & Observations:


1- Set the fr= (Roll No.) kHz
2- R= 10kΩ
3- C (calculated)=
4- To avoid the tolerance impact of the components set the β >29
