This is known as Barkhausen criterion.
The frequency of oscillation is solely
determined by the phase characteristic of the
feedback loop – the loop oscillates at the
frequency for which the phase is zero.

Barkhausen Criterion
How does the oscillation get
started?
Noise signals and the transients associated with the
circuit turning on provide the initial source signal that
initiate the oscillation
Practical Design Considerations
Usually, oscillators are designed so that the loop gain
magnitude is slightly higher than unity at the desired
frequency of oscillation
This is done because if we designed for unity loop gain
magnitude a slight reduction in gain would result in
oscillations that die to zero
The drawback is that the oscillation will be slightly
distorted (the higher gain results in oscillation that grows
up to the point that will be clipped)
Basic principles for oscillation
The feedback oscillator is widely used for
generation of sine wave signals.
The positive (in phase) feedback arrangement
maintains the oscillations.
The feedback gain must be kept to unity to
keep the output from distorting.

RC Oscillators
RC feedback oscillators are generally limited
to frequencies of 1 MHz or less.
The types of RC oscillators that we will
discuss are the Wien-bridge and the phase-
shift

It is a low frequency oscillator which ranges
from a few kHz to 1 MHz.

Phase-Shift Oscillator
The phase shift oscillator utilizes three RC
circuits to provide 180º phase shift that
when coupled with the 180º of the op-amp
itself provides the necessary feedback to
sustain oscillations.
The gain must be at least 29 to maintain the
oscillations.

Colpitts Oscillator
The Colpitts oscillator is a type
of oscillator that uses an LC
circuit in the feed-back loop.
The feedback network is made
up of a pair of tappedtapped
capacitorscapacitors (C(C

inductor Linductor L to produce a
feedback necessary for
oscillations.

Crystal Oscillator
Most communications and digital applications
require the use of oscillators with extremely stable extremely stable
outputoutput. Crystal oscillators are invented to overcome
the output fluctuationoutput fluctuation experienced by conventional
oscillators.
Crystals used in electronic applications consist of a
quartz wafer held between two metal plates and
housed in a a package as shown in Fig. 9 (a) and (b).
Crystal Oscillator
Piezoelectric Effect
The quartz crystal is made of silicon oxide (SiO
2
)
and exhibits a property called the piezoelectricpiezoelectric
When a changing an alternating voltage is applied
across the crystal, it vibrates at the frequency of
the applied voltage. In the other word, the
frequency of the applied ac voltage is equal to the
natural resonant frequency of the crystal.
The thinner the crystal, higher its frequency of
vibration. This phenomenon is called piezoelectric
effect.
Crystal Oscillator
Characteristic of Quartz
Crystal
The crystal can have two resonant
frequencies;
One is the series resonance frequency
f
1
which occurs when X
L
= X
C
. At this
frequency, crystal offers a very low
impedance to the external circuit
where Z = R.
The other is the parallel resonance (or
antiresonance) frequency f
2 which
occurs when reactance of the series
leg equals the reactance of C
M. At this
frequency, crystal offers a very high
impedance to the external circuit

The crystal is connected as a series element

Since, in series resonance, crystal impedance is the smallest
that causes the crystal provides the largest positive feedback.
Resistors R

E provide a voltage-divider stabilized dc
bias circuit. Capacitor C
E provides ac bypass of the emitter
resistor, R
E to avoid degeneration.
The RFC coil provides dc collector load and also prevents any
ac signal from entering the dc supply.
The coupling capacitor C
C has negligible reactance at circuit
operating frequency but blocks any dc flow between collector
and base.
