lab2-RC-Oscillators-2018

The laboratory exercise focuses on understanding the behavior of Wein-Bridge and RC Phase Shift Oscillators, emphasizing gain requirements, frequency of oscillation, and amplitude stabilization. Students will conduct experiments to observe oscillation initiation and stabilization, using specific components and procedures outlined in the document. A prelab simulation using Multisim software is required, followed by a post-lab report comparing simulation results with actual lab findings.

LABORATORY 2 :SINUSOIDAL OSCILLATORS


Objective: To understand the behavior of W ein-Bridge Oscillator and RC
Phase Shift Oscillator in terms of gain requirement, frequency of oscillation and
amplitude stabilization.
Materials and Equipment:
Resistors: 47K [Pot], 10K [3], 2.2KΩ [1], 1KΩ [3], 100KΩ [Pot] Diode:[2]
Capacitors: 22nF [2], 0.1µF [3] IC 741: [1]

Theory:
Aβ>1 at ω=ω0, is the sufficient condition to start the oscillation but this results in a
pole pair in the RHP. In f a c t , the amplitude of oscillation grows exponentially.
The designer must think som e approac h that pulls the pole pair right back to the
imaginary axis after the desired amplitude level has been obtained.
Ideal gain requirement for W ein bridge oscillator is 3 and for RC phase shift
oscillator is 29.

Wein Bridge Oscillator


Procedure
Without Amplitude stabilization
1. First theoretically calculate the oscillation frequency.
2. Connect a wire across A and B in order to destroy the external
amplitude control network.
3. Change the pot so that the oscillation starts.
4. Note the values of Ra and Rb where the oscillation starts.
With Amplitude Stabilization
1. Take the jumper (short across A and B) out.
2. See whether the oscillation starts at same pot setting.
3. If not change the pot setting so that oscillation starts.
4. Check the pot setting at which oscillation just starts (Find Ra and Rb)
5. Change the output voltage amplitude to your required level.

When a sine wave as been obtained, show it to the INSTRUCTOR.

RC Phase Shift Oscillator

Procedure

1. Connect the circuit as shown.


2. First theoretically calculate the oscillation frequency.
3. Theoretically calculate the value of feedback resistor required to just start
the oscillation.
4. Change the pot setting until the oscillation starts.
5. Note the setting of the pot (Feedback Resistance) at which the oscillation
just starts.

When a sine wave as been obtained, show it to the INSTRUCTOR.

Prelab

1. Use multisim software to simulate the Wien Bridge and RC Phase Shift
Oscillators shown above.
2. As part of the prelab print all the schematic diagrams of your circuits
including the part that shows how the frequency of oscillation is measured
using the Multisim Oscilloscope.

Post Lab

Write a lab report which includes components of the multisim simulation as well
as the using the actual equipment in the lab and comment on any deviations
between Multisim and the actual results from the lab. Your report must include
all multisim schematics diagrams.
