COLPITTS OSCILLATOR

Colpitts oscillator is a type of LC oscillator which is designed for the generation of high frequency sinusoidal oscillations with the radio frequencies. Typically ranging from 10KHz- 300MHz. Colpitts oscillator is designed by and named after an American Engineer Edwin H Colpitts in 1918. Figure shows the circuit of a colpitts oscillator.  It consists of …

Sinusoidal oscillators

Simplest sinusoidal variable frequency oscillator is amstrong circuit. Simplest sinusoidal constant frequency oscillator is crystal oscillator. Parasitic oscillation is caused by transistor inter electrode capacitance. If you movie towards an oscillating circuit its frequency increases because of hand capacitance. Frequency stability is maximum in wein bridge oscillator. Practically in order to change frequency of oscillation …
