  2. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger's output voltage through a RC network to its input.. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1] [2] [3] powered by a direct current (DC) source.

  3. RC oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_oscillator

    RC oscillators are a type of feedback oscillator; they consist of an amplifying device, a transistor, vacuum tube, or op-amp, with some of its output energy fed back into its input through a network of resistors and capacitors, an RC network, to achieve positive feedback, causing it to generate an oscillating sinusoidal voltage.

  4. Voltage-controlled oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-controlled_oscillator

    A voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) is used for fine adjustment of the operating frequency. The frequency of a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator can be varied a few tens of parts per million (ppm) over a control voltage range of typically 0 to 3 volts, because the high Q factor of the crystals allows frequency control over only a ...

  5. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states.

  6. Armstrong oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_oscillator

    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 .

  7. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped.It consists of a mass m, which experiences a single force F, which pulls the mass in the direction of the point x = 0 and depends only on the position x of the mass and a constant k.

  8. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...
