Fig1.3 RC phase shift oscillator
Note:
C4= 0.47uf is connected internally
You can see variable pot on the trainer board its value is 1K, using of this pot shaping of input
wave.
In the circuit diagram resistor R1 and the resistor R (close to the base of Q1 in the diagram) gives a
voltage divider bias to the transistor Q1. Resistor Rc limits the collector current while Re is meant
for thermal stability. Ce is the emitter by-pass capacitor and Cout is the output DC decoupling
capacitor. By using more than three RC phase shift stages (like 4 x 45°) the frequency stability of the
oscillator can be further improved. The frequency of the transistor RC phase shift oscillator
oscillator can be expressed by the equation:
Where F is the frequency, R is the resistance, C is the capacitance and N is the number of RC phase
shift stages. The RC pahse shift oscillator can be made variable by making the resistors or capacitors
variable. The common approach is to leave the resistors untouched the three capacitors are replaced
by a triple gang variable capacitor.
