RC Phase Shift Oscillator Aim

1. The aim is to design and set up an RC phase shift oscillator using a BJT transistor and observe the sinusoidal output waveform, comparing the practical frequency to the expected theoretical frequency. 2. An RC phase shift oscillator uses a CE amplifier followed by three RC phase shift feedback networks, with the output of the last stage feeding back to the amplifier input. 3. The experiment involves connecting the circuit, applying a 12V supply, measuring the output time period and voltage using an oscilloscope, and comparing the theoretical and practical frequencies.

RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR

Aim:
1. To design and set up an RC phase shift oscillator using BJT and to observe the sinusoidal
output waveform.
2. To compare the practical frequency with the expected theoretical frequency.

Apparatus required:

Transistor, Resistors, Capacitors, Breadboard, Connecting wires, CRO, Regulated power supply.

Theory:
An oscillator is an electronic circuit for generating an AC signal voltage with a DC
supply as the only input requirement. The frequency of the generated signal is decided by the
circuit elements used. An oscillator requires an amplifier, a frequency selective network and a
positive feedback from the output to the input. The Barkhausen criterion for sustained oscillation
is Aβ = 1 where A is the gain of the amplifier and β is the feedback factor (gain).The unity gain
means signal is in phase. ( If the signal is 1800 out of phase and gain will be 1). RC Phase shift
Oscillator has a CE amplifier followed by three sections of RC phase shift feedback Networks.
The output of the last stage is return to the input of the amplifier. The values of R and C are
chosen such that the phase shift of each RC section is 60º.Thus The RC ladder network produces
a total phase shift of 180º between its input and output voltage for the given frequency. Since CE
Amplifier produces 180º phases shift. The total phase shift from the base of the transistor around
the circuit and back to the base will be exactly 360º or 0º. This satisfies the Barkhausen condition
for sustaining oscillations and total loop gain of this circuit is greater than or equal to 1, this
condition used to generate the sinusoidal oscillations.
