Oscillators
Introduction of Oscillators and Barkhausen Criterion Introduction ■ A Circuit which can deliver electrical energy of some specific frequency is called oscillator. ■ The waveforms produced may be sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal. ■ An oscillator receives D.C. energy and changes it into A.C. energy of desired frequency. ■ The frequency of oscillator depends on components of the oscillator. ■ There is no need of external input signal in oscillators, it produces output signal by its own. ■ This output can be used as energy source for other electrical circuits. ■ An amplifier has negative feedback, where as an oscillator has negative as well as positive feedback. ■ Concept of Feedba...
