Phase Shift Oscillator
Phase Shift Oscillator
Where =1/CR. In order that the phase difference between the input voltage Vi and the output voltage Vo be 180, we must have
if Vo is fed to the input of an amplifier providing a gain of 29 and a phase shift of 180 and id the output of the amplifier is feed back to the input of RC network, an oscillation of frequency f=1/(2 ) Hz will be sustained by the system. This type of oscillation is called RC or phase shift oscillation. Since the RC network is required to give a phase shift of 180 a minimum number of three identical RC stages must be used. It may be mentioned that to generate audio frequency signals the use LC tank circuit becomes inconvenient as impractically large values of L and C are required. However, such frequencies are conveniently generated with the phase oscillator.

Discussion:
1) What do you mean by an electronic oscillator?
2) What classes of oscillators are commonly used in AF and RF ranges and why?
4) Is an external input signal necessary for the output of an oscillator? If not how are oscillations initiated?
