Basic Principles of Sinusoidal
Oscillator
• Nonlinear amplitude control
To ensure that oscillations will start, the Aβ is
slightly greater than unity.
As the power supply is turned on, oscillation
will grown in amplitude.
When the amplitude reaches the desired level,
the nonlinear network comes into action and
cause the Aβ to exactly unity.
