The RC Phase-Shift Oscillator
The –ve sign confirms that the cascade inverts the feedback at the oscillation
frequency.
We see that the amplifier must supply a gain of -29 to make the loop gain
Ab=1.
Thus we require

The Wien Bridge Oscillator
Operational amplifier is used in a non-inverting configuration .
Impedance blocks labeled Z1 and Z2 form a voltage divider that determines the
feedback ratio.
Feedback is through the impedance divider to the + input of the amplifier.
Resistor Rg & Rf determine the amplifier gain and are selected to make the
magnitude of the loop gain equal to 1.
If the feedback impedances are chosen properly there will be some frequency
at which there is zero phase shift in the signal fed back to the amplifier input
(v+).
Since the amplifier is also non-inverting it also
contributes zero phase shift so the total phase
shift around the loop is 0 at that frequency as
required for oscillation.
In the most common version of the Wien Bridge
oscillator Z1 is a series RC combination and Z2
is a parallel RC combination as shown in Fig.

For this configuration
and
For V+ to have the same phase as V0, the ratio must be a purely real so setting
imaginary term equal to zero and solving for
Oscillation frequency.

The Wien Bridge Oscillator
In most applications the resistors are made equal and so the capacitors:
R1 = R2 = R and C1 = C2 = C
In this case the Oscillation frequency becomes
Substituting the above capacitive reactances in the feedback ratio equation gives

The Wien Bridge Oscillator
Therefore the amplifier must provide a gain of 3 to make the magnitude of
the loop gain unity and sustain oscillation.
Since the amplifier gain is
We require

The Colpitts Oscillator
In colpitts oscillator the impedance in the feedback circuit is a resonant LC
network.
The frequency of oscillation is the resonant frequency of the network which is
the frequency at which the phase shift through the network is 1800.
At resonant frequency , the impedance is a real number.
The impedance looking into the network from the amplifier output is the
parallel combination of
10
The Colpitts Oscillator
In order for Z to equal a real umber , the imaginary term must equal zero.
Thus at resonance:
Or
Where
Note:
This computation is based on the assumption that the left hand side of the
network is open.
In reality it is loaded by resistor R1. Therefore equation of resonant
frequency is valid for the condition when R1>> XC2 11
The Colpitts Oscillator
Since V0 appears across the voltage divider consisting of L and C2 the
feedback factor (again neglecting R1) is
Thus the closed loop gain of the inverting amplifier must be at least C2/C1.

The Hartley Oscillator
The impedance in the feedback oscillator is a
Resonant LC network consist of two inductors
and one capacitor .
As the colpitts oscillator , oscillation occurs at
the resonant frequency of the network, the frequency
at which its impedance is real.
Following the same procedure used to derive the
Oscillation frequency and feedback factor of
Colpitts oscillator we can show
Where LT = L1 + L2
And b = --L2 / L1 (at resonance)
13
The Hartley Oscillator
If L1 and L2 are wound on the same core and therefore have Mutual
inductance M the inductor equation will become
LT = L1 + L2 + 2M
In order to satisfy |A0b| > 1 in Hartley oscillator we require from equation
