Name of the Experiment: Study of Wien Bridge Oscillator Using OpAmp.

Objectives:

To design a Wien Bridge oscillator using op-amp for a given frequency of 1 KHz.

Theory: An oscillator is a circuit that produces periodic electric signals such as sine wave or
square wave. The application of oscillator includes sine wave generator, local oscillator for
synchronous receivers etc. An oscillator consists of an amplifier and a feedback network. To
start the oscillation with the constant amplitude, positive feedback is not the only sufficient
condition. Oscillator circuit must satisfy the following two conditions known as Barkhausen
conditions:

Wien bridge oscillator is an audio frequency sine wave oscillator of high stability and
simplicity. The feedback signal in this circuit is connected to the non-inverting input terminal
so that the op-amp is working as a non-inverting amplifier. Therefore, the feedback network
need not provide any phase shift. The circuit can be viewed as a Wien bridge with a series

combination of R1 and C1 in one arm and parallel combination of R2 and C2 in the
adjoining arm. Resistors R3 and R4 are connected in the remaining two arms. The condition
of zero phase shift around the circuit is achieved by balancing the bridge.

The series and parallel combination of RC network form a lead-lag circuit. At high
frequencies, the reactance of capacitor C1 and C2 approaches zero. This causes C1 and C2
appears short. Here, capacitor C2 shorts the resistor R2. Hence, the output voltage Vo will be
zero since output is taken across R2 and C2 combination. So, at high frequencies, circuit acts
as a 'lag circuit'. At low frequencies, both capacitors act as open because capacitor offers very
high reactance. Again, output voltage will be zero because the input signal is dropped across
the R1 and C1 combination. Here, the circuit acts like a 'lead circuit'. But at one particular
frequency between the two extremes, the output voltage reaches to the maximum value. At
this frequency only, resistance value becomes equal to capacitive reactance and gives
maximum output. Hence, this frequency is known as oscillating frequency (f).

Discussion:
The Wien bridge oscillator circuit using an op-amp successfully generated a stable sinusoidal
output. The frequency of oscillation was determined by the resistor and capacitor values in the
feedback network. The oscillator produced a low-distortion sine wave, demonstrating the op-
amp’s ability to provide the necessary gain and phase shift. Minor amplitude variations were
observed, which are common due to component tolerances and power supply fluctuations.
Overall, the circuit effectively illustrates how a Wien bridge oscillator can create clean sine

waves for signal generation.
