Colpitts Oscillator Frequency Experiment

The document describes the Colpitt's oscillator circuit. It contains the aim, apparatus, theory, procedure, observations, precautions, and conclusion of the experiment. The circuit uses a tank circuit made up of inductor L1 and capacitors C4 and C5. The frequency of oscillations is determined by the component values and given by the formula f = 1 / (2p (CTL1)1/2) where CT = C1C2 / (C1 + C2). The experiment aims to study the frequency of the Colpitt's oscillator by making connections as in the circuit diagram and observing the waveform on an oscilloscope.

COLPITT’S OSCILLATOR

AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT: To study the frequency of colpitt’s oscillator.

colpitt’s [Link]
Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)
Tracing paper
Regulated Power Supply (0-30V)
Connecting Wires
CIRCUITDIAGRAM:
3rd sem electrical

THEORY:
The tank circuit is made up of L1,C4 and C5 .The resistance R2 and R3
provides the necessary biasing. The capacitance C 2 blocks the D.C component. The
frequency of oscillations is determined by the values of L1,C4 and C5, and is given by
f = 1 / (2p (CTL1)1/2) Where CT = C1C2 / ( C1 + C2)
The energy supplied to the tank circuit is of correct phase. The tank circuit provides 180 0
out of phase. Also the transistor provides another 1800 . In this way, energy feedback to
the tank circuit is in phase with the generated oscillations.
PROCEDURE:
1. connections are made as per circuit diagram.
2. CRO was connected to output terminals and the waveform was observed.

OBSERVATIONS:

PRECAUTIONS:
1. The connections should be correct.
2. Transistor terminals should be identified properly.

CONCLUSION: oscillations of colpitts oscillator is observed.
