Electronic Instrumentation Design Class Assignment 3

1. Describe Barkhausen criteria!

The Barkhausen criteria is a condition that’s required to operate a circuit as an oscillator. It states that
the loop gain has to be equal to unity in absolute magnitude, and the phase shift around the loop is 0 or
an integer multiple of 2𝜋

2. What is the differences between Colpitts and Hartley Oscillator?

Colpitts oscillator has a tap within 2 capacitors while Hartley has a tap with 2 coils. The feedback of
colpitts is derived from a capacitive divider, while Hartley feedback is derived with inductive divider.

3. R1 = R2 = 100kOhm. C1 = C2 = 1000pF. Determine the value of frequency of oscillations! Draw
