How is a Hartley Oscillator identified? Right Ans - They have two inductors
in the feedback circuit.
How is frequency determined in a Hartley Oscillators? Right Ans - The
values of the components in the feedback circuit determine the frequency.
How is a colpitts oscillator identified? Right Ans - Two capacitors in the
feedback circuit.
How is frequency determined in a colpitts oscillator? Right Ans - Frequency
is determined by the components in the feedback circuit.
How is an RC Phase Shift oscillator identified? Right Ans - They have three
RC networks in the feedback circuit.
What is the total phase shift in an RC Phase shift oscillator? Right Ans - 360
degrees.
Q1 is a common emitter amplifier that produces a 180 degree phase shift.
Each RC network produces a phase shift as well.
How is frequency determined with the sawtooth oscillator? Right Ans - The
frequency of the output is determined by the frequency of the input.
What is the purpose of a blocking oscillator? Right Ans - They change DC
into short, rectangular pulses that can be used as timing pulses to trigger
other circuits.
Blocking Oscillator Right Ans - Any oscillator that cuts off its own
oscillations at a predetermined time.
Transconductance (gm) Right Ans - The amount of control that the input
voltage has over the output current.
Gm= Ioutput/Einput
