Oscillator Fundamentals (1)
An oscillator is a circuit that converts energy from a power source
(usually a DC power source) to AC energy (periodic output signal). In
order to produce a self-sustaining oscillation, there necessarily must be
feedback from the output to the input, sufficient gain (amplifier) to
overcome losses in the feedback path, and a resonator (filter).
The block diagram of an oscillator with positive feedback is shown
below. It contains an amplifier with frequency-dependent forward gain
a() and a frequency-dependent feedback network ().

The output voltage is given by:
It gives the closed loop gain as:
For an oscillator, the output Vo is nonzero even if the input signal Vi is zero.
This can only possible if the closed loop gain A is infinity. It means:
This is called the Barkhausen criterion for oscillation and is often described
in terms of its magnitude and phase separately. Hence oscillation can occur
when

CB configuration, then there is no phase inversion for the amplifier.

It is also assumed that the quality factor of load impedance is high. Then,

Three-reactance oscillators: Instead of using block diagram formulation
using Barkhausen criterion, a direct analysis based on circuit equations is
frequently used (particular for single ended amplifier), as shown in next

Assumed that Z1, Z2, Z3 are purely reactive impedance. Since both real and
imaginary parts must be zero, then
and
Since hfe is real and possitive, Z2 and Z3 must be of opposite sign. That is:
Since hie is nonzero, then
or
Thus, since hfe is positive, then Z1 and Z2 will be reactances of same kind.

An oscillator known as the Clapp circuit (or Clapp-Gourier circuit):
This circuit has practical advantage of being able to provide another
degree of design freedom when making Co much smaller than C1 and C2.
The Co can be adjusted for the desired oscillating frequency o, which is
determined from:

Crystal Oscillators (1)
One of the most important features of an oscillator is its frequency
stability, or in other words its ability to provide a constant frequency
output under varying conditions. Some of the factors that affect the
frequency stability of an oscillator include: temperature, variations in the
load and changes in the power supply.
Frequency stability of the output signal can be improved by the proper
selection of the components used for the resonant feedback circuit
including the amplifier but there is a limit to the stability that can be
obtained from normal LC and RC tank circuits. For very high stability a
quartz crystal is generally used as the frequency determining device to
produce another types of oscillator circuit known generally as crystal
oscillators.

Crystal Oscillators (2)
When a voltage source is applied to a small thin piece of crystal quartz, it
begins to change shape producing a characteristic known as the piezo-
electric effect. This piezo-electric effect is the property of a crystal by
which an electrical charge produces a mechanical force by changing the
shape of the crystal and vice versa, a mechanical force applied to the
crystal produces an electrical charge. Then, piezo-electric devices can be
classed as transducer as they convert energy of one kind into energy of
another. This piezo-electric effect produces mechanical vibrations or
oscillations which are used to replace the LC circuit.
The quartz crystal used in crystal oscillators is a very small, thin piece or
wafer of cut quartz with the two parallel surfaces metallized to make the
electrical connections. The physical size and thickness of a piece of quartz
crystal is tightly controlled since it affects the final frequency of
oscillations and is called the crystals "characteristic frequency".

electrical circuit consisting of low resistance, large inductance and small
capacitance as shown below:

The impedance of the equivalent circuit is
or
where s is series resonant frequency and p is parallel resonant frequency
(or anti-resonant frequency). The series and parallel resonant frequencies are
very stable and not affected by temperature variations.
At series resonant frequency, the crystal has a low impedance (ideally, zero
impedance). At parallel resonant frequency, the crystal has a high impedance.

Crystal Oscillators (5)
A quartz crystal has a resonant frequency similar to that of a electrically
tuned tank circuit (LC circuit) but with a much higher Q factor due to its
low resistance, with typical frequencies ranging from 4kHz to 10MHz.
In a crystal oscillator circuit the oscillator will oscillate at the crystals
fundamental series resonant frequency when a voltage source is applied to
it. However, it is also possible to tune a crystal oscillator to any even
harmonic of the fundamental frequency, (2nd, 4th, 8th etc.) and these are
known generally as harmonic oscillators (while overtone oscillators
vibrate at odd multiples of the fundamental frequency, 3rd, 5th, 11th etc.).
Colpitts crystal oscillator: The design of a crystal oscillator is very
similar to the design of the Colpitts oscillator, except that the LC circuit
has been replaced by a quartz crystal as the example shown below:
