Oscillators

Classification of oscillators

Classification of oscillators

  • The oscillators are classified based on the nature of the output of the waveforms, the parameters used, the range of the frequency etc
  • The varies ways in which oscillators are classified as:

    • 1.Based on the Output Waveforms

  • Under this, the oscillators are classified as sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal oscillators
  • The sinusoidal oscillator generates purely sinusoidal waveforms at the output
  • While nonsinusoidal oscillator generates at the output squre wave, triangular wave,sawtooth etc.
  • The basic block diagram of the oscillator circuit

    • 2.Based on the circuit components

  • The oscillators using the components rsistance(R) and capacitance(C), are called RC oscillators
  • While oscillators using the components inductance(L) and capacitance(C) is called LC osicllators
  • Some oscillators are using the crystal used are called crystel oscillators

    • 3.Based on the Range of operating feieqency

  • If the oscillators are used to generate the oscillations at audio frequency range which is 20Hz to 100-200kHz,Then the oscillators are classified as Low Fiequency (L.F.) or Audio frequency (A.F) Oscillators
  • While the oscillators are used to the frequency range more then 200-300kHz upto gigaheartz(GHz) or Radio Frequency iscillators
  • The RC oscillators are used at low frequency range amd LC oscillators are used to high frequency range

    • 4.Based On :Whether Feedback is used or not ?

  • The oscillators in which the feedback is used, which satisfies the requred conditions, are classified as feedback type of oscillators
  • The oscillators in which the feedback is not used to generate to oscillations, are classified as nonfeedback oscillators. The nonfeedback oscillators are used to negative resistence region of the cherecteristics of the device used.

Miller Crystal Oscillator

Miller Crystal Oscillator Miller Crystal Oscillator Similar to modifications in Colpitt's oscillator, the Hartley oscillator circuit can be modified, to get Miller crystal Oscillator In Hartley oscillator circuit, two inductors and one capacitor is required in the tank circuit. One inductor is replaced by the crystal which acts as an inductor for the frequencies slightly greater then the series resonant frequency. The tuned circuit of L1 and C is offtuned to behave as an inductor i.e. L1. The crystal behaves as other inductance L2 between base and ground. the Internal capacitance of the transistor acts as a capacitor required to fullfill the elements of the tank circuit The crystal decides the operating frequency of the oscillator.

Electronic oscillator division types and use

Electronic oscillator division types and use Electronic oscillator division types and use Introduction to oscillator An oscillator is a amplifier and it is a close loop circuit or network. It uses the Positive feedback. It is not require the externel signel and generate the a desired frequency A oscillatpr acts like generator, It oscillates the constant amplitude and frequency. Oscillator can generate the frequency upto gigahertz. Classification of the Oscillators Oscillators are classified based on the type of waveforms generate from the oscillator, range, frequency, parameters used. Based on Output waveforms. Based on circuit components. Range of operating frequency. Based on feedback uses or not uses Types of oscillatprs LC Oscillator Har...
