2. At what condition the output signal can be continuously obtained from input signal?
a) When the product of input voltage and feedback voltage is equal to 1
b) When the product of amplifier gain and transfer ratio is equal to 1
c) When the product of feedback voltage and transfer ratio is equal to 1
d) When the product of amplifier gain and input voltage is equal to 1
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: When Aß=1, the feedback signal will be equal to the input signal. At this condition, the circuit will
continue to provide output, even if the external signal is disconnected. This is because the amplifier cannot
distinguish between external signal and signal from the feedback circuit. Thus, output signal is continuously
obtained.
3. An oscillator is a type of
a) Feedforward amplifier
b) Feedback amplifier
c) Waveform amplifier
d) RC amplifier
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: An oscillation is a type of feedback amplifier in which a part of output is fed back to the input via
a feedback circuit.

Answer: c
Explanation: The above mentioned diagram is the basic structure of feedback oscillator. It consists of an
amplifier, to the external input (vi) is applied and it have a feedback network from which the feedback signal
(vf) is obtained.
Answer: d
Explanation: All the conditions should be simultaneously satisfied to achieve oscillations.

Sine Wave Oscillator Principles Questions and Answers - Sanfoundry
Answer: a
Explanation: If |Aß| becomes less than unity, the feedback signal goes on reducing in each feedback cycle
and oscillation will die down eventually.
Answer: c
Explanation: When |Aß| is kept slightly greater than unity the signal, however, cannot go on increasing and
get limited due to non-linearity of the device (that is transistor enters into saturation). Thus, it is the non-
linearity of the transistor because of which the sustained oscillation can be achieved.
Answer: d
Explanation: The Barkhausen condition |Aß|=1 is usually difficult to maintain in the circuit as the value of A
and ß vary due to temperature variations, aging of components, change of supply voltage etc.
Answer: b
Explanation: Schottky noise is the noise signal always present at the input of the transistor due to variation in
the carrier concentration.
10. A basic feedback oscillator is satisfying the Barkhausen criterion. If the ß value is given as 0.7072, find the
gain of basic amplifier?

c) 1
d) 1.414
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Barkhausen criterion for oscillation is given as Aß=1
=> A=1/ ß = 1/0.7072 = 1.414.

Answer: b
Explanation: The feedback signal of an oscillator is given as the product of external applied signal & the loop
gain of the system.
=> Vf= Aß ×Vi.
Answer: a
Explanation: There are two requirements for oscillation
1. The magnitude of Aß=1
2. The total phase shift of Aß=0o or 360o.
