Experiment No.9: RC Phase Shift Oscillator
Objective:
To produce frequency without using input voltage and to Study the Oscillator.
Components:
1- OPAMP µA741
2- Bread Board.
3- DC Dual power supply.
4- Oscilloscope.
5- Capacitors & Resistors.
Theory:
The basic RC Oscillator which is also known as a Phase-shift Oscillator, produces a
sine wave output signal using regenerative feedback obtained from the resistor-
capacitor combination. This regenerative feedback from the RC network is due to
the ability of the capacitor to store an electric charge.
This resistor-capacitor feedback network can be connected to produce a leading
phase shift (phase advance network) or interchanged to produce a lagging phase
shift (phase retard network) the outcome is still the same as the sine wave
oscillations only occur at the frequency at which the overall phase-shift is 360o.
By varying one or more of the resistors or capacitors in the phase-shift network, the
frequency can be varied and generally this is done by keeping the resistors the same
and using a 3-ganged variable capacitor.
In a Resistance-Capacitance Oscillator or simply an RC Oscillator, we make use of the
fact that a phase shift occurs between the input to a RC network and the output
from the same network by using RC elements in the feedback branch, for example.
RC Phase-Shift Network: The circuit on the left shows a single resistor-
capacitor network whose output voltage “leads” the input voltage by some angle
less than 90o. An ideal single-pole RC circuit would produce a phase shift of exactly
90o, and because 180o of phase shift is required for oscillation, at least two
single-poles must be used in an RC oscillator design.
