T() is a maximum when the imaginary term vanishes Maximum at =0=1/RC (phase shift=0) Max value=1/3 G, which happens to be real. 3dB points around 0/3 and 30

Analysis
Gain=1/3G and =0 at =0 Positive feedback into amplifier with G=3 provides loop gain=1 and everything in phase

Oscillation If G = 3, oscillations occur If G < 3, oscillations attenuate If G > 3, oscillation amplify
