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.
