Interactive Quizzes

Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What must the loop gain be for an oscillator to sustain oscillation?

< 1
= 1
≥ 1

💡 Hint: Think about what happens if the gain is less than one.

Question 2

In positive feedback, the feedback signal must be in phase with the input signal.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to feedback when signals are out of alignment.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an oscillator circuit and analyze how to achieve Barkhausen’s criteria. Detail the components used and how they work together.

💡 Hint: Think about how resistors and capacitors can influence gain and phase.

Challenge 2 Hard

Predict the outcome of a feedback circuit where the gain dips below 1. What implications does this have for the circuit's performance?

💡 Hint: Analyze how feedback interacts with the circuit's loss elements.
