An oscillator is an electronic circuit for generating an AC signal voltage with a DC supply as
the only input requirement. The frequency of the generated signal is decided by the circuit
elements used. An oscillator requires an amplifier, a frequency selective network and a
positive feedback from the output to the input.
The Barkhausen criterion for sustained oscillation is Aβ = 1 where A is the gain of the
amplifier and β is the feedback factor (gain).The unity gain means signal is in phase. ( If the
signal is 1800 out of phase and gain will be -1).
A Wien bridge oscillator is a type of electronic oscillator that generates sine waves. It can
generate a large range of frequencies. The oscillator is based on a bridge circuit originally
developed by Max Wien in 1891 for the measurement of impedances. The bridge comprises
four resistors and two capacitors. The oscillator can also be viewed as a positive gain
amplifier combined with a bandpass filter that provides positive feedback. Automatic gain
control, intentional non-linearity and incidental non-linearity limit the output amplitude in
various implementations of the oscillator.
The circuit shown to the right depicts a common implementation of the oscillator, with
automatic gain control, using modern components. Under the condition that R1=R2=R and
C1=C2=C, the frequency of oscillation is given by:

PROCEDURE:

1. Identify the pin details of BC107 Transistor (or equivalent silicon Transistor such as
BC108/547) and test it using a millimeter. Set up the circuit on breadboard as shown in
figure.
2. A 12V Supply Voltage is given by using Regulated power supply and output is taken from
collector of the Transistor.
3. By using CRO the output time period and voltage are noted.
4. Plot all the readings curves on a single graph sheet.
