Application of Oscillators • Oscillators are used to generate signals, e.g. • Used as a local oscillator to transform the RF signals to IF signals in a receiver; • Used to generate RF carrier in a transmitter • Used to generate clocks in digital systems; • Used as sweep circuits in TV sets and CRO.

Integrant of Linear Oscillators For sinusoidal input is connected “Linear” because the output is approximately sinusoidal A linear oscillator contains: - a frequency selection feedback network - an amplifier to maintain the loop gain at unity EE3110 Oscillator
Basic Linear Oscillator and If Vs = 0, the only way that Vo can be nonzero is that loop gain A=1 which implies that (Barkhausen Criterion) EE3110 Oscillator

LC Oscillators • The frequency selection network (Z1, Z2 and Z3) provides a phase shift of 180o • The amplifier provides an addition shift of 180o Two well-known Oscillators: • Colpitts Oscillator • Harley Oscillator EE3110 Oscillator

Frequency Stability • The frequency stability of an oscillator is defined as • Use high stability capacitors, e.g. silver mica, polystyrene, or teflon capacitors and low temperature coefficient inductors for high stable oscillators. EE3110 Oscillator
Amplitude Stability • In order to start the oscillation, the loop gain is usually slightly greater than unity. • LC oscillators in general do not require amplitude stabilization circuits because of the selectivity of the LC circuits. • In RC oscillators, some non-linear devices, e.g. NTC/PTC resistors, FET or zener diodes can be used to stabilized the amplitude EE3110 Oscillator
