This electronics training resource connects into the Experiment Platform, and introduces students to oscillators and their applications through a wide range of practical activities.
Typical activities include:
Measure the oscillation frequency for RC and LC oscillators
Measure the signal amplitudes present in RC and LC oscillator circuits
Diagnose faults in RC and LC oscillator circuits
Measure the amplitude and phase relationship from waveforms for a Wien Bridge Oscillator
Make voltage measurements around an astable multivibrator circuit
Determine by calculation and measurement the duration of the unstable state for a monostable multivibrator
Measure capacitor charging time
Make voltage measurements around a clock oscillator circuit based on digital inverters
Faultfinding oscillator circuits
Please note that this resource requires access to an Experiment Platform (either a 300-01 or a 300-02).
