Oscillators
RC Phase Shift Oscillator
Frequency Determination:
The frequency of the oscillator depends on the number and configuration of RC
stages and the values of resistors and capacitors
Circuit Variability:
By adjusting the capacitors, often through gang-tuning, the frequency of the RC
phase shift oscillator can be finely tuned to meet specific needs
