Example:
If the amplifier has a gain of 100, the feedback circuit
must have an attenuation of 0.01 to make the loop
gain equal to 1.

SINUSOIDAL OSCILLATOR
A sinusoidal oscillator produces a sine-wave output
signal.
The output signal is of constant amplitude with no
variation in frequency.
Sinusoidal oscillator produces signals ranging from
low audio frequencies to ultrahigh radio and
microwave frequencies.

4.1 PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR
A transistor in CE configuration acts as an amplifier
or Op Amp as an inverting amplifier. It amplifies the
input signal and produces a 180 voltage phase
shift.
The feedback network introduces another 180
voltage shift at a resonant frequency (fr).
