Theory: In the RC phase shift oscillator, the required phase shift of 180˚ in the feedback loop from
the output to input is obtained by using R and C components, instead of tank circuit. Here a
common emitter amplifier is used in forward path followed by three sections of RC phase network
in the reverse path with the output of the last section being returned to the input of the amplifier.
The phase shift Ф is given by each RC section Ф=tanˉ1 (1/ωrc). In practice R-value is adjusted
such that Ф becomes 60˚. If the value of R and C are chosen such that the given frequency for the
phase shift of each RC section is 60˚. Therefore at a specific frequency the total phase shift from
base to transistor’s around circuit and back to base is exactly 360˚ or 0˚. Thus the Barkhausen
criterion for oscillation is satisfied
Circuit diagram:
Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Switch on the power supply and observe the output on the CRO (sine wave).
3. Note down the practical frequency and compare with its theoretical frequency.
TABULAR COLUMN:
Result: Thus RC phase shift oscillator is designed and constructed and the output sine
wave frequency is calculated as
VIVA QUESTIONS:
When the signal level increases, the gain of the amplifier is decrease at a particular value
of output, the gain of the amplifier is reduced exactly equal to 1/β then the output voltage remain
constant at frequency is called frequency oscillation.
