Question 1

What do the phase conditions of Barkhausen Criterion require?

  • Total phase shift must be 180 degrees
  • Total phase shift must equal an integer multiple of 360 degrees
  • No phase shift is needed

💡 Hint: Think about how oscillators utilize phase shifts.

Question 2

True or False: A loop gain less than 1 will stabilize oscillations.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall what happens when conditions are not met.

Question 1

Design an RC oscillator that meets the Barkhausen Criterion for a given frequency of oscillation. Explain the components you select and why.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for frequency in RC circuits and consider typical component values.

Question 2

Evaluate an oscillator circuit where the loop gain has changed from slightly greater than 1 to slightly less than 1. Discuss what occurs at each point.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to signal levels in feedback loops with varying conditions.
