Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick to simulate some oscillating circuits. The Barkhausen criteria state that ...

Sine-wave oscillators such as the Wien-bridge, state-variable, or quadrature oscillators, have an inherently undefined amplitude. Ideally, the poles of their feedback loop are on the jω-axis and the ...

Examine a traditional Hartley oscillator circuit, and you’ll note its trademark: a tapped inductor that determines the frequency of oscillation and provides oscillation-sustaining feedback. Although ...

Designers can take advantage of the latest fabrication techniques for and the expanding array of materials used in nonlinear devices (see “Use Nonlinear Devices As Linchpins To Next-Generation Design, ...

Oscillator drift remains one of the most critical threats to precision timing in high-performance communication systems. In ...
