Self-Test

These questions test your understanding of the concepts and equations presented in this chapter. Use a separate sheet of paper for your diagrams or calculations. Compare your answers with the answers provided following the test.

1. What are the three sections necessary in an oscillator?_____
2. What is the difference between positive and negative feedback?_____
3. What type of feedback is required in an oscillator?_____
4. What is the formula for the frequency of an oscillator?_____
5. Draw the circuit for a Colpitts oscillator.
6. Draw the circuit for a Hartley oscillator.
7. Draw the circuit for an Armstrong oscillator.
8. Problems 27–30 give a design procedure for oscillators. How well do the circuits in problem 35 fulfill the criteria for that procedure? In other words, check the values of Vf, AV (for a common emitter amplifier), C1/C2 ratio, RC/Z ratio, and the frequency.
A. _____
B. _____
C. _____
D. _____
9. For the circuit shown in Figure 9.38, calculate the values of C1, C2, CC, and CB for an oscillator with an output frequency of 10 kHz using a 100 mH coil.
