Which of the following options is correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 1

RC phase shift oscillator:

  • RC phase shift oscillator as shown in the figure is used to invert the input for a 180° phase difference. Hence, the gain of the RC phase shift oscillator is negative. (Statement 1 is correct and 3 is incorrect)

Concept:

Oscillators:

1. An oscillator is a circuit that produces a continuous, repeated, alternating waveform without any input.

2. An oscillator is an amplifier with +ive feedback.

3. The source of oscillation in an oscillator is the DC switching transient noise.

4. switch debouncing → Switch debouncing in an electronic design ensures that the device that is sampling the switching waveform does not misinterpret a single button press as many.

Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 3

Among the following, which is a fixed frequency oscillator?

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 3

Crystal Oscillator:

  • Crystal oscillators are fixed frequency oscillators with a high Q-factor.
  • It operates on the principle of the inverse piezoelectric effect in which alternating voltage applied across the crystal surfaces causes it to vibrate at its natural frequency.
  • It is these vibrations that eventually get converted into oscillations.
  • These oscillators are made of Quartz crystal Rochelle salt and Tourmaline.
  • Quartz is inexpensive, naturally available, and mechanically strong when compared to others.

In a crystal oscillator, the crystal is suitably cut and mounted between two metallic plates as shown in the figure.

Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 6

Which of these is incorrect for a Wien Bridge oscillator?

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 6

 A Wien Bridge oscillator is a two-stage RC coupled amplifier circuit that has good stability at the resonant frequency. It has low distortion and is easy to tune. It is called so because the circuit is based on a frequency-selective form of the Wheatstone bridge.

Clapp oscillator is an ___________

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 9

Clapp oscillator is a colpitts oscillator which has an extra capacitor series with an inductor. Hence it is an LC oscillator, with 3 capacitors and one single inductor to set its frequency, and the clap circuit is often used as a variable frequency oscillator, by making one capacitor variable.

Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 11

RFC choke is placed in Colpitts oscillator instead of resistor is to provide _________

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 11

RFC choke present in Colpitts oscillator is to provide high reactance to AC oscillation and low reactance to DC supply to improve performance. If resistor is used there will be some power loss in DC biasing which is unnecessary.

Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 12

When frequency of oscillation of a crystal oscillator becomes parallel resonance frequency reactance of crystal oscillator becomes __________

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 12

The oscillator has two resonant frequencies, parallel and series. Parallel resonance occurs when the reactance of series leg becomes equal to that of the parallel capacitor, and during this time, impedance offered is very high, almost infinite.

Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 13

When constructing variable frequency oscillator among clapp oscillator and colpitts oscillator which one is preferred?

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 13

The stray third capacitor in the clap oscillator doesn’t have a negative effect and the frequency obtained is instead more stable and accurate than colpitt oscillator, hence the clap oscillator is preferred for a variable frequency oscillator.

Which of these is a disadvantage of the Wien Bridge oscillator?

Detailed Solution for Test: Types of Oscillator - 2 - Question 14

A Wien Bridge oscillator provides a stable low distortion output over a wide range of frequency. However, the number of components required is high and the Wheatstone bridge applied cannot be used for high resistance values.

important point

  • Hartley and Colpitts's oscillators are LC oscillators.
  • LC oscillators are unstable oscillators.
  • Phase shift oscillator is suitable for oscillations in AF range up to 1 kHz
  • Crystals like quartz have high-quality factors, Q (range: 104 - 106). The high-quality factor will result in high-frequency stability.
