Ocilator

An oscillator is a circuit that produces a continuous alternating waveform without input by converting current from a DC source. The oscillator's frequency is determined by its circuit components. Oscillators work by using an LC tank circuit with an inductor and pre-charged capacitor, where the capacitor discharges through the inductor, storing energy in the inductor's electromagnetic field. When the capacitor fully discharges, current stops flowing in the circuit.

An oscillator is a circuit which produces a continuous, repeated,

alternating waveform without any input. Oscillators basically convert


unidirection
current flow from a DC source into an alternating waveform which is
of the desired frequency,
as decided by its circuit components.The basic principle behind the
working of oscillators
can be understood by analyzing the behavior of a LC tank circuit
shown by Figure 1,
which employs an inductor L and a completely pre-charged capacitor
C as its components. Here, at first, the capacitor starts to discharge
via the inductor, which
results in the conversion of its electrical energy into the
electromagnetic field, which can be stored
in the inductor. Once the capacitor discharges completely, there will
be no current flow in the circuit.
