Basic Features of a Hartley Oscillator

The primary LC oscillator circuit does not have the option of controlling the amplitude of the oscillations. A weak electromagnetic coupling between first inductive coil L and second inductive coil L2 results in insufficient feedback and the oscillations would eventually … Read more

What is a Microprocessor Clock?

The CPU clock dictates how fast the processor can process the data, and a microprocessor having a clock speed of 3 MHz means that it can process data internally 3 million times a second at every clock cycle.

The Basic Principle of Operation of an Oscillator

An oscillator is the basic element of ac signal sources and generates sinusoidal signals of known frequency and amplitude.

The main applications of oscillators are as sinusoidal waveform sources in electronic measurements. Oscillators can generate a wide range of frequencies … Read more

The Fundamentals of Oscillators in Communication Systems

A communication system consists of an input device, a transmitter, a transmission medium, receiver and output device. The input device can be a computer, sensor or oscillator, depending on the application of the system, while the output device could be … Read more
