  2. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal; this function is called a bandpass filter. They are key components in many electronic devices, particularly radio equipment, used in circuits such as oscillators , filters , tuners and ...

  3. Hartley oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartley_oscillator

    Hartley oscillator using a common-drain n-channel JFET instead of a tube.. The Hartley oscillator is distinguished by a tank circuit consisting of two series-connected coils (or, often, a tapped coil) in parallel with a capacitor, with an amplifier between the relatively high impedance across the entire LC tank and the relatively low voltage/high current point between the coils.

  4. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  5. Seiler oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiler_oscillator

    The radio frequency choke L3 is needed to isolate the LC circuit from the power supply, but has a potential problem. L3, C3 and C4 create a Colpitts oscillator circuit. R2 reduces the Q factor of L3 and prevents oscillation on the wrong frequency. The correct oscillator frequency is 10MHz.

  6. Cathode follower oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_follower_oscillator

    The Cathode follower oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit in which the oscillation frequency is determined by a tuned circuit consisting of capacitors and inductors, that is, an LC oscillator. [1] The circuit is also known as differential amplifier oscillator, emitter follower oscillator, source-coupled oscillator or Peltz oscillator.

  7. Colpitts oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpitts_oscillator

    A Colpitts oscillator, invented in 1918 by Canadian-American engineer Edwin H. Colpitts using vacuum tubes, [1] is one of a number of designs for LC oscillators, electronic oscillators that use a combination of inductors (L) and capacitors (C) to produce an oscillation at a certain frequency.

  8. Quantum LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_LC_circuit

    An LC circuit can be quantized using the same methods as for the quantum harmonic oscillator.An LC circuit is a variety of resonant circuit, and consists of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C.

  9. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    The period and frequency are determined by the size of the mass m and the force constant k, while the amplitude and phase are determined by the starting position and velocity. The velocity and acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator oscillate with the same frequency as the position, but with shifted phases. The velocity is maximal for zero ...
