Question 1

What is the formula for the frequency of an RC phase shift oscillator?

f_0 = RC
f_0 = 1 / (2πRC sqrt(6))
f_0 = 2πRC

💡 Hint: Look for a formula that includes both R and C values in its calculation.

Question 2

The gain condition for a three-section RC oscillator should be at least 29. Is this true or false?

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider why gain plays a crucial role in oscillation stability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate the minimum gain required if your RC oscillator has an attenuation of 1/27.

💡 Hint: Relate the gain condition back to the feedback network equation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a phase shift oscilloscope circuit analyzing how frequency changes when the capacitor value doubles while the resistor remains fixed.

💡 Hint: Revisit the frequency relation to R and C for clarity.
