  2. Phase-shift oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_oscillator

    A phase-shift oscillator is a linear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a sine wave output. It consists of an inverting amplifier element such as a transistor or op amp with its output fed back to its input through a phase-shift network consisting of resistors and capacitors in a ladder network.

  3. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    Conversely, a phase reversal or phase inversion implies a 180-degree phase shift. [ 2 ] When the phase difference φ ( t ) {\displaystyle \varphi (t)} is a quarter of turn (a right angle, +90° = π/2 or −90° = 270° = −π/2 = 3π/2 ), sinusoidal signals are sometimes said to be in quadrature , e.g., in-phase and quadrature components of a ...

  4. Optical phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phase_space

    Each point in the optical phase space corresponds to a unique state of an optical system. For any such system, a plot of the quadratures against each other, possibly as functions of time, is called a phase diagram. If the quadratures are functions of time then the optical phase diagram can show the evolution of a quantum optical system with time.

  5. Wien bridge oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien_bridge_oscillator

    The phase of the signal at V p relative to the signal at V out varies from almost 90° leading at low frequency to almost 90° lagging at high frequency. At some intermediate frequency, the phase shift will be zero. At that frequency the ratio of Z 1 to Z 2 will be purely real (zero imaginary part).

  6. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. [1] It displays the signal as a two-dimensional xy -plane scatter diagram in the complex plane at symbol sampling instants.

  7. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    The phase modulation (φ(t), not shown) is a non-linearly increasing function from 0 to π /2 over the interval 0 < t < 16. The two amplitude-modulated components are known as the in-phase component (I, thin blue, decreasing) and the quadrature component (Q, thin red, increasing).

  8. Voltage-controlled oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-controlled_oscillator

    VCOs can be generally categorized into two groups based on the type of waveform produced. [4]Linear or harmonic oscillators generate a sinusoidal waveform. Harmonic oscillators in electronics usually consist of a resonator with an amplifier that replaces the resonator losses (to prevent the amplitude from decaying) and isolates the resonator from the output (so the load does not affect the ...

  9. Colpitts oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpitts_oscillator

    The output signal from the tank circuit is fed back into the input of an amplifier, where it is amplified and fed back into the tank circuit. The feedback signal provides the necessary phase shift for sustained oscillation. [9] The working principle of a Colpitts oscillator can be explained as follows:
