Phase Shift Oscillator

1. A phase-shift oscillator uses an inverting amplifier with a feedback filter consisting of three cascaded RC filters to produce a total phase shift of 180 degrees at the oscillation frequency. 2. Each RC filter produces a phase shift of 60 degrees, resulting in a total phase shift of 180 degrees from the three filters together. 3. The oscillation frequency is determined by the RC time constants of the filters and is calculated using the equation f=1/2πRC√6.

1.

A phase-shift oscillator is a simple sine wave electronic oscillator that contains an


inverting amplifier, and a feedback filter.

2. It 'shifts' the phase of the amplifier output by 180 degrees at the oscillation frequency.

3. The filter produces a phase shift that increases with frequency. The most common
techniques to build filter is using three identical cascaded resistor-capacitor filters, which
together produce a phase shift of zero at low frequencies, and 270 degrees at high
frequencies.

4. At the oscillation frequency each filter produces a phase shift of 60 degrees and then
combine all filter circuit produces total phase shift of 180 degrees.

1. Phase shift oscillator.

Figure : Phase Shift Oscillator.


from the circuit in figure we have three RC low-pass filter sections to develop a total phase
shift of 180°(60°x3).
From the circuit in result sheet without the op-amp and the feedback by using R=10 k Ω
and C=0.01 μF , the gain obtained through the RC network is 8.23.
The RC network was connected to the op-amp and the feedback resistor R F=150 k Ω by
combinations of resistor as in result sheet, without making connection between V o and node X.
The peak value of waveforms obtained in node X was 0.5 V and node Y was 0.5 V ,where
waveforms at node Y is the input of the operational amplifier while waveforms at node X is the
output waveform. The gain obtained is 1
V p of sine wave at node Y 0.5
AV = ¿ ¿1
V p of sine wave at node X 0.5

then sine wave input from node X was removed and a close-loop between V o and node X
was made, the waveform at node V o was recorded. The frequency of the output signal (V o ) was
compared with the calculated in table below:
Table : The measured and calculated frequency values.
Measured Frequency Calculated Frequency

Hz 2 πRC √ 6

The measured frequency was almost the same with the calculated frequency with a bit of
differences. This may due to the tolerance of resistors. The peak value of V o was 10V and
therefore the peak-peak value of V o was 20V.

Conclusion

The basic structure of the phase shift oscillator consists of a negative gain amplifier with
a three section RC ladder network in the feedback.
