4 Brief Theoretical Description

Introduction
It is the commonly used audio frequency oscillator which employs both positive and
negative feedback. The feedback signal is connected in the non-inverting input terminal so
that the amplifier is working in non-inverting mode. The Wien bridge circuit is connected
between amplifier input terminal and output terminal. The bridge has a series RC network in
one arm and a parallel RC network in the adjoining arm. In the remaining two arms of the
bridge, resistor R1 and Rf are connected. The phase angle criterion for oscillation is that the
total phase shift around the circuit must be zero. This condition occurs when bridge is
balanced. At resonance, the frequency of oscillation is exactly the resonance frequency of
balanced Wien bridge and is given by
fo = 1/ (2πRC)
At this frequency, the gain required for sustained oscillation is 3.It is provided by the
non-inverting amplifier with

Gain = 1+ (Rf/R1) = 3

Effect of variation of resistance and capacitance on frequency


The frequency of the oscillator varies with the variation in capacitance. It is inversely
proportional to the capacitance. In other words, the frequency decreases with the increase
in capacitance and vice versa. The variation in resistance has a similar effect on the
frequency of the oscillator.
