Theory:
An oscillator is an electronic circuit for generating an ac signal voltage with a dc supply
as the only input requirement. The frequency of the generated signal is decided by the circuit
elements. An oscillator requires an amplifier, a frequency selective network, and a positive
feedback from the output to the input. The Barkhausen criterion for sustained oscillation is
A_ = 1 where A is the gain of the amplifier and is the feedback factor. The unity gain means
signal is in phase. (If the signal is 180° out of phase, gain will be 1.). If a common emitter
amplifier is used, with a resistive collector load, there is a 180 phase shift between the
voltages at the base and the collector.

In the figure shown, three sections of phase shift networks are used so that each section
introduces approximately 60_ phase shift at resonant frequency. By analysis, resonant
frequency f can be expressed by the equation,
