The phase determines the oscillation frequency, and gain is a criterion for oscillation to exist. The four poles in the loop equation each contribute –45° phase shift accumulating the required total ...

Phase shift oscillators used in communications circuits usually have a fixed target oscillation frequency that is determined by the values of fixed resistors in the oscillator circuit. Changing the ...

This application note demonstrates nine different circuits that can be used to generate a sine wave. The first, a phase shift oscillator, is shown below. To view the application note, click on the URL ...

If you’ve worked with germanium transistors, you’ll know that many of them have a disappointingly low maximum frequency of operation. This has more to do with some of the popular ones dating from the ...
