CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
THEORY:
RC-Phase shift Oscillator has a CE amplifier followed by three sections of RC phase
shift feedback Networks. The output of the last stage is returned to the input of the amplifier.
The values of R and C are chosen such that the phase shift of each RC section is 60º.Thus The
RC ladder network produces a total phase shift of 180º between its input and output voltage for
the given frequencies. Since CE Amplifier produces 180 º phase shift, the total phase shift from
the base of the transistor around the circuit and back to the base will be exactly 360º or 0º. This
satisfies the Barkhausen condition for sustaining oscillations. Total loop gain of this circuit is
greater than or equal to 1, this condition used to generate the sinusoidal oscillations.
The frequency of oscillations of RC-Phase Shift Oscillator is,
PROCEDURE:
1. Start MULTISIM. A blank circuit window will appear on the screen along with a component
tool bar.
2. Using component tool bar place all the components on the circuit window and wire the
circuit.
3. Observe the output signal and note down the output amplitude and time period (Td).
4. Calculate the frequency of oscillations theoretically and verify it practically (f=1/T d).
5. Repeat the above procedure for different values of R & C.
THEORITICAL CALCULATIONS:
