Oscillator
In our daily life
– Digital watches, Invertors, Radios , T.V, Computers, Fans, Metal
Detectors, Electronic Bells and lots more
Pendulum of a clock.
– If you push on a pendulum to start it swinging, it will oscillate at
some frequency - it will swing back and forth a certain number
of times per second.
– The length of the pendulum controls the frequency.
– In pendulum potential energy is converted in kinetic energy

Overview of the Oscillator
• One of the basic building blocks of electronics
• Input is a direct current (DC) power source
• Output is alternating current (AC)
• Can generate sub-audible frequencies or very high
frequencies
• Most oscillators are amplifiers with feedback
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
5
Amplifiers as Oscillators?
• Most amplifiers will oscillate when conditions are correct
Example: Too high of a volume on public address system
= loud noise and squeals that are the result of acoustic
waves traveling from the speakers to the microphone
• The result is oscillation
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
6
Electrical Feedback
• Practical oscillators use electrical feedback to produce
oscillation
• Feedback circuits use resistors, capacitors, coils, or
transformers to connect a portion of the output signal back to
the input of the amplifier
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
7
Feedback and Amplifier Gain
Conditions for Oscillation
Feedback alone does not promise oscillation
There is always some loss in the feedback circuit
Amplifier gain must be greater than this loss
Feedback must be in-phase
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
8
In-phase Feedback
• In-phase feedback is also called regenerative feedback
or positive feedback
• When the original amplifier input and output signals are not
in-phase, the feedback circuit is used to reverse the phase
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
9
Input Characteristics
• Steady source of direct current (DC)
• In many applications, the DC source requires a filter
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
10
Output Characteristics
• Amplitude
• Frequency
• Waveform type
• Stability
• On some oscillators, the capability to change frequency
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
11
Oscillator Amplitude
• Usually determined by the gain available from the
amplifier
• Supply voltage and circuit losses affect amplitude
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
12
Oscillator Frequency
• Frequency of operation is normally determined by the
feedback circuit
• Common feedback circuits used to determine oscillator
frequency include:
– crystals
– resistor and capacitor networks (RC)
– coil and capacitor networks (LC) {tank circuit}
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
13
Waveform Type
• Generally, determined by:
– Feedback circuitry
– Output filter circuitry
– Amplifier gain, or
– Changes to input voltage
• May be sinusoidal (sine wave), square wave, or triangular
wave
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
14
Oscillator Stability
• Sometimes referred to as a stable oscillator
• Source of a signal with consistent amplitude
• Source of a signal with consistent frequency
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
15
Ability to Change Frequency
• Oscillators sometimes have the ability to change
frequencies
• Crystal oscillator frequency is controlled by changing the
crystal
– Crystals are usually cut from quartz to generate a
specified frequency when operating

basic signal to
transmit their
information

used
frequencies and waveforms
needed for troubleshooting
and the testing of electronic
equipment
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
20
Need of an Oscillator
• An oscillator circuit is capable of producing ac voltage of
desired frequency and waveshape.
• To test performance of electronic circuits, it is called
signal generator.
• It can produce square, pulse, triangular, or sawtooth
waveshape.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
21
Need of an Oscillator
• High frequency oscillator are used in broadcasting.
• Microwave oven uses an oscillator.
• Used for induction heating and dielectric heating.
• Oscillators are circuits
that generate periodic
signals.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
22
Need of an Oscillator
• An oscillator converts DC power from power supply to AC
signals power spontaneously – without the need for an AC
input source (Note: Amplifiers convert DC power into AC
output power only if an external AC input signal is present.)
• There are several approaches to design of oscillator circuits.
The approach to be discussed is related to the feedback
using amplifiers.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
23
Need of an Oscillator
• A frequency-selective feedback path around an
amplifier is placed to return part of the output signal
to the amplifier input, which results in a circuit called
a linear oscillator that produces an approximately
sinusoidal output.
• Under proper conditions, the signal returned by the feedback
network has exactly the correct amplitude and phase needed to
sustain the output signal.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
24
Types of Oscillators
•
Sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal.
•
An oscillator generating square wave or a pulse
train is called multivibrator :
1. Bistable multivibrator (Flip-Flop Circuit).
2. Monostable multivibrator.
3. Astable multivibrator (Free-running).
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
25
Types of Oscillators
•
Depending upon type of feedback, we have
1.
Tuned Circuit (LC) oscillators.
2.
RC oscillators, and
3.
Crystal oscillators.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
26
Using Positive Feedback
The gain with positive feedback is given as
• By making 1 – Aβ = 0, or Aβ = 1, we get gain as infinity.
• This condition (Aβ = 1) is known as Barkhausen Criterion of oscillations.
• It means you get output without any input !
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
27
How is it Possible ?
• Connecting point x to y, feedback voltage drives
the amplifier.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
28

Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
33
(2) If Aβ > 1, we get growing oscillations.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
34
(3) If Aβ = 1, we get sustained oscillations. In this
case, the circuit supplies its own input signal.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
35
Wherefrom comes the starting voltage ?
● Each resistor is a noise generator.
● The feedback network is a resonant circuit giving
maximum feedback voltage at frequency f0, providing
phase shift of 0° only at this frequency.
● The initial loop gain Aβ > 1.
● The oscillations build up only at this frequency.
● After the desired output is reached, Aβ reduces to unity.

– Without excitation input signal
A simple example
If you charge up the capacitor with
a battery and then insert the
inductor into the circuit, here's
what will happen
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
39
“OscillatorsarethecircuitswhichcovertsDC
VoltagefrombatterytoACVoltage”
• The capacitor will start to discharge through the
inductor. As it does, the inductor will create a
magnetic field
• Once the capacitor discharges, the inductor will try to
keep the current in the circuit moving, so it will
charge up the other plate of the capacitor.
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
40
“OscillatorsarethecircuitswhichcovertsDC
VoltagefrombatterytoACVoltage”
• Once the inductor's field collapses, the capacitor has
been recharged (but with the opposite polarity), so it
discharges again through the inductor
• Frequency will depend upon L and C
Oscillators By S.M.Mehzabeen
41
Tank Circuit
• When the tank circuit resonates, the circulating current
flows through L1 in series with L2. Hence the equivalent
inductance is

• The Piezoelectric Effect Quartz exhibits piezoelectric effect.
– When a changing mechanical stress is applied across the
crystal to cause it to vibrate, a voltage develops at the
frequency of mechanical vibration.
– Conversely, whenanacvoltageisappliedacrossthecrystal,it
vibratesatthefrequencyoftheappliedvoltage.Thegreatest
vibrationoccursatthecrystal'snaturalresonantfrequency.
– Which is determined by the physical dimensions and by the way
the crystal is cut.

Crystal Oscillator
• From equivalent circuit it is clear that it consists of series
as well as parallel resonant circuit
• At series resonance inductive reactance is equal to
capacitive reactance Cs
• At parallel resonance inductive reactance is equal to
capacitive reactance Cm
• So,crystal can be used in hartley or colpitts oscillator in
place of the tank circuit

• Crystals have incredibly high Q.
• For the given values, Q = 5500.
• Q as high as 100 000 can be possible.
• An LC circuit has Q not greater than 100.
• The extremely high value of Q makes fo highly
stable.

Series and Parallel Resonance
• First, resonance occurs at fs for the series combination of
L and Cs.
• Above fs the series branch LCsR has inductive reactance.
• It then resonates at fp , with Cm.
• For this parallel resonance, equivalent series
capacitance is Cp.

• Normally, Cs is much smaller than Cm.
• Therefore, Cp is slightly less than Cs.
• Hence, the frequency fp is slightly greater than fs.
• The crystal is inductive only between the frequencies fs
and fp.
• The frequency of oscillation must lie between these
frequencies.
• Hence the stability.
