UNIT-3 FEEDBACK AND OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS

1. Oscillators are used to ______ AC voltage.


a) Prevent
b) Generate
c) Amplify
d) Rectify
View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: Oscillators are used for generating AC voltage. They are often
characterized by the frequency of the oscillations produced. There are two
main types of electronic oscillators, linear/harmonic and
nonlinear/relaxation oscillator.

2. Oscillator __________ an AC input for giving an AC output.


a) Doesn’t need
b) Need
c) Doesn’t need at lower frequencies

d) Doesn’t need at higher frequencies


View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: An oscillator is an amplifier with positive feedback. It usually


has a noise which is an amplifier as an oscillating output. They do not
require any type of specific input to function properly.
3. Negative resistance are incorporated in oscillator for ___________
a) Sustained oscillation
b) Damped oscillation
c) Biasing the oscillator
d) Increasing amplitude of oscillation
View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: Negative resistance are incorporated in oscillator for sustained


oscillation. Negative resistance will cancel the damping by positive
(normal) resistance.

4. For accomplishing negative resistance in oscillator we use _____________


a) Voltage divider circuit
b) Negative feedback
c) Positive feedback
d) Current divider circuit
View Answer

Answer: c

Explanation: The input or output impedance of an amplifier with positive


feedback applied, can be negative. When loop gain is greater than 1, the
input impedance is a negative value, over a linear range. These are also
called active resistors.

5. Primary trigger for oscillation is obtained from ___________


a) DC voltage
b) Noise voltage
c) External trigger voltage
d) No trigger is required
View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: The primary trigger for oscillation is obtained from noise


voltage.

6. The AC power of output signal is obtained by ___________

a) Input AC voltage

b) Input DC voltage

c) DC biasing voltage

d) Power is generated by transistor itself

Explanation: The Ac power of output signal is obtained by DC biasing


voltage of amplifier.

7.The output of a stable oscillator have ___________


a) Constant amplitude
b) Varying amplitude
c) Constant amplitude at high frequencies only
d) Constant amplitude at low frequencies only
View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: Output of a stable oscillator have constant amplitude and


frequency. A common criteria is the Barkhausen stability criteria, wherein
it states that loop gain should be unity and feedback should be positive.
8.The output waveform of a stable oscillator have ___________
a) Constant frequency at low amplitude only
b) Constant frequency at high amplitude only
c) Variable frequency
d) Constant frequency
View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: Output of a stable oscillator have constant amplitude and


frequency.

9. In an oscillator if phase of feedback is same as that of oscillation waveform


then feedback is called ___________
a) Positive feedback
b) Negative feedback
c) Cannot be predicted
d) Either positive or negative depending upon frequency
View Answer

Answer: a

Explanation: In an oscillator if phase of feedback is same as that of


oscillation waveform then feedback is called positive feedback.

10. The output of oscillator will not depend upon ___________


a) Feedback
b) Amplifier
c) Both feedback and amplifier
d) Input voltage
View Answer
Answer: d

Explanation: The output of the oscillator will not depend upon input voltage.
There is no input voltage for an oscillator.

11.Which of the following are not the characteristics of a crystal oscillator?


a) Highly stable with time
b) Highly stable with temperature
c) Highly selective
d) Frequency depends external resistors and capacitors
View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: The crystal oscillator is highly stable with time, highly stable
with temperature, highly selective. The frequency of crystal is a constant
regardless of output circuits. The frequency is dependent on the crystal
shape which does not differ much at all.

12.Equivalent circuit of crystal oscillator contains ______________


a) Two inductors and two capacitors
b) One inductors and two capacitors

b) Infinity
c) Unpredictable
d) Unity
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The oscillator has two resonant frequencies, parallel and
series. Parallel resonance occurs when the reactance of series leg becomes
equal to that of the parallel capacitor, and during this time, impedance
offered is very high, almost infinite.

18.When frequency of oscillation of circuit is less than series resonance
