Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a hypothetical oscillator with a loop gain of 0.8, analyze how you could alter the circuit to meet Barkhausen's Criteria.

💡 Hint: Consider modifying the gain stage components in your analysis.

Question 2

Create a simulation of an oscillator circuit and determine if it meets Barkhausen's Criteria. If it doesn't, suggest modifications.

💡 Hint: Observe the output waveforms and measure the gain and phase shifts.
