50 TOP OSCILLATORS Questions and Answers PDF

This document provides 50 questions and answers about oscillators. Some key points covered include: - An oscillator converts power into alternating current power and employs positive feedback. It produces undamped oscillations at a stable frequency. - In an LC oscillator, the active device is a transistor and the frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of L or C. - A crystal oscillator has a very stable frequency due to the high Q of the crystal. It is commonly used in radio transmitters where a fixed frequency is needed.
