  1. Oscillators • Feedback amplifier but frequency dependent feedback • Positive feedback, i.e. βf () A () < 0 • Oscillator gain defined by • Oscillation condition at ω= ωo (Barkhausen’s criterion) Af (ωo) =  Ch 13 Oscillators

  2. Wien Bridge Oscillator • Based on op amp • Combination of R’s and C’s in feedback loop so feedback factor βf has a frequency dependence. • Analysis assumes op amp is ideal. • Gain A is very large • Input currents are negligibly small (I+ I_  0). • Input terminals are virtually shorted (V+ V_ ). • Analyze like a normal feedback amplifier. • Determine input and output loading. • Determine feedback factor. • Determine gain with feedback. • Shunt-shunt configuration.

  6. Wien Bridge Oscillator - Example Oscillator specifications: o=1x106 rad/s Ch 13 Oscillators

  7. Wien Bridge Oscillator Final note:No input signal is needed. Noise at the desired oscillation frequency will likely be present at the input and when picked up by the oscillator when the DC power is turned on, it will start the oscillator and the output will quickly buildup to an acceptable level. Ch 13 Oscillators

  8. Wien Bridge Oscillator • Once oscillations start, a limiting circuit is needed to prevent them from growing too large in amplitude Ch 13 Oscillators

  9. Phase Shift Oscillator • Based on op amp using inverting input • Combination of R’s and C’s in feedback loop so get additional phase shift. Target 180o to get oscillation. • Analysis assumes op amp is ideal. Rf If IC3 IC2 IC1 V2 V1 VX C C C V0 IR1 R R IR2 Ch 13 Oscillators

  11. Colpitts LC-Tuned Oscillator • Feedback amplifier with inductor L and capacitors C1 and C2 in feedback network. • Feedback is frequency dependent. • Aim to adjust components to get positive feedback and oscillation. • Output taken at collector Vo. • No input needed, noise at oscillation frequency o is picked up and amplified. • RB1 and RB2 are biasing resistors. • RFC is RF Choke (inductor) to allow dc current flow for transistor biasing, but to block ac current flow to ac ground. • Simplified circuit shown at midband frequencies where large emitter bypass capacitor CE and base capacitor CB are shorts and transistor capacitances (C and C) are opens.

  12. Colpitts LC-Tuned Oscillator • Voltage across C2 is just V • Neglecting input current to transistor (I  0), • Then, output voltage Vo is • KCL at output node (C) • Setting s = j AC equivalent circuit Assuming oscillations have started, then V≠ 0 and Vo ≠ 0, so sC2V V0 Iπ≈ 0 sC2V Ch 13 Oscillators

  13. Colpitts LC-Tuned Oscillator • To get oscillations, both the real and imaginary parts of this equation must be set equal to zero. • From the imaginary part we get the expression for the oscillation frequency • From the real part, we get the condition on the ratio of C2/C1 Ch 13 Oscillators

  14. Colpitts LC-Tuned Oscillator • Given: • Design oscillator at 150 MHz • Transistor gm = 100 mA/V, R = 0.5 K • Design: • Select L= 50 nH, then calculate C2, andthen C1 Example Ch 13 Oscillators

  15. Summary of Oscillator Design • Shown how feedback can be used with reactive components (capacitors) in the feedback path. • Can be used to achieve positive feedback. • With appropriate choice of the resistor sizes, can get feedback signal in phase with the input signal. • Resulting circuit can produce large amplitude sinusoidal oscillations. • Demonstrated three oscillator circuits: • Wien Bridge oscillator • Phase Shift oscillator • Colpitts LC-Tuned oscillator • Derived equations for calculating resistor and capacitor sizes to produce oscillations at the desired oscillator frequency. • Key result: Oscillator design depends primarily on components in feedback network, i.e. not on the amplifier’s characteristics.
