An oscillator is a circuit, which generates ac output signal without giving any input ac
EC
signal. This circuit is usually applied for audio frequencies only. The basic requirement for an oscillator is positive feedback.
An oscillator consists of an amplifier and a feedback network. Active device i.e. Op Amp is used as an amplifier. Passive components such as R-C or L-C combinations are used as
C
feed back network. To start the oscillation with the constant amplitude, positive feedback is not the only
LI
sufficient condition. Oscillator circuit must satisfy the following two conditions known as Barkhausen conditions:
1. The first condition is that the magnitude of the loop gain (Aβ) = 1 where A = Amplifier gain β = Feedback gain. 2. The second condition is that the phase shift around the loop must be 360° or 0°.

RC Phase Shift Oscillator: Phase-shift oscillator is a simple electronic oscillator. It contains an inverting amplifier, and a feedback filter which 'shifts' the phase of the amplifier output by 180 degrees at the oscillation frequency. The filter produces a phase shift that increases with frequency. It must have a maximum phase shift of considerably greater than 180° at high frequencies, so that the phase shift at the desired oscillation frequency is 180°. The most common way of achieving this kind of filter is using three identical cascaded resistor-capacitor filters, which together produce a phase shift of zero at low frequencies, and
IT
270 degrees at high frequencies. At the oscillation frequency each filter produces a phase shift of
G M
60 degrees and the whole filter circuit produces a phase shift of 180 degrees.

Wein Bridge Oscillator: A Wien bridge oscillator is a type of electronic oscillator that generates sine waves. It can generate a large range of frequencies. The frequency of oscillation is given by: f= 1/2πRC. The Wien Bridge Oscillator uses a feedback circuit consisting of a series RC circuit connected with a parallel RC of the same component values producing a phase delay or phase advance circuit depending upon the frequency. At the resonant frequency fr the phase shift is 0°.
