English: Diagram of an Armstrong oscillator circuit using a FET as the active device. The Armstrong oscillator, invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1913, was one of the earliest oscillator circuits. It is an LC oscillator, in which the frequency is determined by a tuned circuit consisting of the inductor L1 and capacitor C.
The Armstrong oscillator [1] (also known as the Meissner oscillator [2]) is an electronic oscillator circuit which uses an inductor and capacitor to generate an oscillation. The Meissner patent from 1913 describes a device for generating electrical vibrations, a radio transmitter used for on–off keying. Edwin Armstrong presented in 1915 some ...
English: Abstract block diagram of an electronic oscillator. It consists of an amplifying element with transfer function G(jω) with its output fed back into it's input through a feedback network with transfer function H(jω). The output voltage is labelled V o and the feedback voltage is labelled V f.
English: Block diagram of an electronic oscillator circuit, with the feedback loop broken to show how to calculate the loop gain. It consists of an amplifier element with amplification A, with its output V o fed back into its input V i through a feedback network with transfer function β(jω).
Oscillator block diagram.svg is the same image with A and β(jω) replaced with alternate variables G(jω) and H(jω). Oscillator diagram2.svg is the same image with the feedback loop shown broken, to show how loop gain is calculated.
Due partly to its tendency to radiate interference when oscillating, [6] [5]: p.190 by the 1930s the regenerative receiver was largely superseded by other TRF receiver designs (for example "reflex" receivers) and especially by another Armstrong invention - superheterodyne receivers [10] and is largely considered obsolete.
In some designs (as shown in the diagrams) the secondary voltage V s adds to the source voltage V b; in this case because the voltage across the primary (during the time the switch is closed) is approximately V b, V s = (N+1)×V b. Alternately the switch may get some of its control voltage or current directly from V b and the rest from the ...
Edwin Howard Armstrong (December 18, 1890 [2] – February 1, 1954 [3]) was an American electrical engineer and inventor who developed FM (frequency modulation) radio and the superheterodyne receiver system.
