8:12 Different Types of Oscillators

What is Oscillator:

The Oscillator is an electronic circuit, which accepts the DC voltage and generates the periodic time varying waveform of the desired frequency.

How Oscillator Works:

The Oscillator is an amplifier with positive feedback. When the Oscillator is turned ON, then the thermal noise is amplified by the amplifier of the oscillator. The feedback circuit in the oscillator is the frequency selective circuit. It amplifies only one particular frequency from all other frequencies. And over the period of time, the one frequency will get build up and gives the periodic oscillations at the output.

Barkhausen Criteria:
For sustained Oscillation,
1) the magnitude of the loop gain AB should be equal to 1 (AB =1)
2) Phase Shift introduced by the amplifier and the feedback circuit should be zero.

Types of OScillator:
Depending on the type of feedback circuit the oscillators can be broadly classified as
1) RC OScillator
2) LC OScillator
3) Crystal OScillator

Depending on the arrangement of these R, L, C components, it can be further classified. (Colpitts Oscillator, Hartley Oscillator etc.)

Depending on the type of output, the oscillators can be classified as
1) Harmonic Oscillators (Gives Sinusoidal Output)
2) Relaxation OScillators (Gives Non-Sinusoidal Output, Like square wave and Triangular Wave)

This video will be helpful to all the students of science and engineering in understanding the working principle of the oscillator.

man this guy is amazing ... i thought the Barkhausen criteria was some complicated stuff..he made it so simple in his explanations ....amazing

[dipeshpatil]

I owe my linear electronics marks to this channel.... Love it man. Keep making videos

[omarmonajed]

This video is the clearest beginner-friendly explanation of oscillators. Thank you!

[sungilcho]

you are better than my professor. we don't need to go college or university anymore . since we haves good teacher on YouTube. thx I understood basic concept of oscillator.

[sandip_kanzariya]

9 minute me to pura funda clear kardiya bhai. that's great job 👌👌👌👌

[zaydabbas]

This channel does an amazing job of explaining stuff, I actually get to see how all my classes are combined and applied with these videos!

[hemanthvj]

I had been wondering from where did the oscillations come from, without any input. Thanks for explaining it here

[ShubhamKubde]

Your videos helps and and make the concept crystal clear! Thank you!

[dripking]

Thanks, you are a Collage Diploma saver, great explination. Keep up the good work!

[manishahalale]

Excellent sir! Keep making videos coz your videos are very helpful for engineering, especially for ECE students.

[prajvalnakrani]

Great Work Man..! The video was very helpful. Keep making such videos... Good Luck!

[Itsmesam]

Amazing channel for electronics. .
Thanks 😊 to admin ...

[ram]

best vdo regarding introduction to oscillator i have ever seen...more basic knowledge in less time.tnku sir

[thedestinyoflife]

I missed this topic in the class and your explanation was really good and neat.
Thank you

[aradhanapatel]

Wow sir you are awesome...you videos are really informative and useful...

[arathcazares]

I'm learning this from school! I understand how the basic principle of oscillators work! Thank you

[diyasaini]

This video really helped me! Very systematically explained..great job! Thank you!!

[deepa_adhikari_]

Thanku sir for this amazing video..I learn so many things from this.

You make great videos. Thanks! If AB is to be equal to 1, then you need to take the limit as AB goes to 1 in order to not divide by 0 in Vo/Vin = A/1 - AB.
