Objective

Design a 1000 Hertz Colpitts Oscillator. Measure the total harmonic distortion and frequency

contents present in the output signal.

Procedure and Calculations

1 kHz sinusoidal oscillator can be designed using R&C components. In this project a 1 kHz RC

Phase Shift Oscillator is designed using 741 Op-Amp. The resonance frequency is given by the

following equation

1
f o=

√
2π L
C1 C2
C1 +C 2

Now designing the circuit at resonant frequency of 1 kHz
