What is Oscillator?
An oscillator in an Electronic Circuit that produces a repeated electronic signal, generally a sine wave, square wave or triangle wave. Oscillators convert Direct Current signals to Alternating Current signals which can be utilized to set frequency. Oscillators are used for audio applications, and utilized as a clock signal.
Types of Oscillators
Different types of oscillators are:
- Wien Bridge Oscillator
- RC Phase shift Oscillator
- Colpitts Oscillator
- Hartley Oscillator
- Crystal Oscillator
- Phase Shift Oscillator
Here we are discussing about Wien Bridge Oscillator. It is one of the sine wave oscillators that uses an Resistor and Capacitance network to produce a sinusoidal waveform in output. The main component of this Oscillator Includes a network of resistors and capacitors along with an amplifier.
