Chapter 11 - Oscillators
Chapter Overview
An amplifier needs an
ac input signal to produce an ac output signal, but
an oscillator doesn't. An oscillator is a circuit that
creates an ac signal.
Oscillators can be designed to produce
many kinds of waveforms such as sine, rectangular, triangular,
or sawtooth. The range of frequencies that oscillators
can generate is from less than 1 Hz to well over 10
gigahertz (10 GHz = 1 X 10(10) Hz). Depending on the
waveform and frequency requirements, oscillators are
designed in different ways.
This chapter covers some of
the most popular circuits, and it also discusses undesired
oscillations.
