An oscillator is an electronic circuit for generating an AC signal voltage with a DC supply as
the only input requirement. The frequency of the generated signal is decided by the circuit
elements used. An oscillator requires an amplifier, a frequency selective network and a
positive feedback from the output to the input.
The Barkhausen criterion for sustained oscillation is Aβ = 1 where A is the gain of the
amplifier and β is the feedback factor (gain). The unity gain means signal is in phase. ( If the
signal is 1800 out of phase and gain will be -1). RC-Phase shift Oscillator has a CE amplifier
followed by three sections of RC phase shift feed-back Networks. The output of the last stage
is return to the input of the amplifier. The values of R and C are chosen such that the phase
shift of each RC section is 60º.Thus The RC ladder network produces a total phase shift of
180º between its input and output voltage for the given frequency. Since CE Amplifier
produces 180 º phases shift. The total phase shift from the base of the transistor around the
circuit and back to the base will be exactly 360º or 0º. This satisfies the Barkhausen condition
for sustaining oscillations and total loop gain of this circuit is greater than or equal to 1, this
condition used to generate the sinusoidal oscillations.

1. Identify the pin details of BC107 Transistor (or equivalent silicon Transistor such as
BC108/547) and test it using a millimeter. Set up the circuit on breadboard as shown in
figure.
2. A 12V Supply Voltage is given by using Regulated power supply and output is taken from
collector of the Transistor.
3. By using CRO the output time period and voltage are noted.
4. Plot all the readings curves on a single graph sheet.
