COLPITT’S OSCILLATOR
THEORY:
The tank circuit is made up of L1,C4 and C5 .The resistance R2 and R3
provides the necessary biasing. The capacitance C 2 blocks the D.C component. The
frequency of oscillations is determined by the values of L1,C4 and C5, and is given by
f = 1 / (2p (CTL1)1/2) Where CT = C1C2 / ( C1 + C2)
The energy supplied to the tank circuit is of correct phase. The tank circuit provides 180 0
out of phase. Also the transistor provides another 1800 . In this way, energy feedback to
the tank circuit is in phase with the generated oscillations.
PROCEDURE:
1. connections are made as per circuit diagram.
2. CRO was connected to output terminals and the waveform was observed.
OBSERVATIONS:
PRECAUTIONS:
1. The connections should be correct.
2. Transistor terminals should be identified properly.
