Why Look At the Wien-Bridge?
It generates an
oscillatory output
signal without
having any input
source
Basics About the Wien-Bridge
Uses two RC
networks
connected to the
positive terminal to
form a frequency
selective feedback
network
Causes
Oscillations to
Occur
Basics About the Wien-Bridge
Amplifies the
signal with the two
negative feedback
resistors
Modification to Circuit
Analysis
The loop gain can
be found by doing
a voltage division

Fast Fourier Transform of Simulation
Frequency Analysis
Due to limitations of the op-amp,
frequencies above 1MHz are
unachievable.
Conclusions
No Input Signal yet Produces
Output Oscillations
Can Output a Large Range of
Frequencies
With Proper Configuration,
Oscillations can go on indefinitely
