Proof:
First consider the feedback circuit consisting of RC combinations of the phase shift
oscillator. For simplicity we use the Laplace transform again. Thus, the circuit is
represented in the S domain as shown in the figure. Let us determine

Crystal Oscillator
1. As the circuit operates, it will warm up. Consequently the values of resistors
inductors, which are the frequency determining factors in LC and RC circuit, will
change with temperature .this causes change in frequency of the oscillator.
2. If any component in the feedback network is changed, it will shift the operating
frequency of the oscillator.
# in order to maintain constant frequency piezoelectric crystal is used in place of LC or
RC circuits. Oscillators of this type are called crystal oscillator. The frequency of a crystal
oscillator changes by less than 0.1% due to temperature and other changes.
#Piezoelectric crystal: Certain crystalline materials namely, Rochelle salt, quartz and
tourmaline exhibit piezoelectric effect, i.e when an a.c voltage is applied across them,
they vibrate at the frequency of the applied voltage. Conversely, when they are
compressed or placed under mechanical strain, they produce an a.c voltage. Such
crystals which exhibit piezoelectric effect are called piezoelectric crystal of the various
piezoelectric crystals; quartz is most commonly used because it is inexpensive and
readily available in nature.
Frequency of the crystal:
The natural frequency of the crystal is given by,
f=
Where k is a constant and t is the thickness of the crystal. It is clear that frequency is
inversely proportional to crystal thickness. The thinner the crystal, the greater its natural
frequency and vice versa. However extremely thin crystal may break because of
vibration.
#working of quartz crystal:
Crystal
In order to use crystal in electronic circuit, it is placed between two metal plates. The
arrangement then forms a capacitor with crystal as the dielectric. If an ac voltage is
applied across the plates the crystal will start vibrating at the frequency of the applied
voltage. If the frequency of the applied voltage is made equal to the natural frequency
of the crystal, response take place and crystal vibrations reach a maximum value. This
natural frequency is almost constant.
CM
2. When a crystal vibrates, it is equivalent to R-L-C series circuit. The equivalent circuit of
vibrating crystal is R-L-C series circuit shunted by mounting capacitance CM.

The above circuit acts as a parallel tuned circuit. At parallel resonance, the
impedance is maximum. This means maximum voltage is developed across the C1 .
This in turn, will allow the maximum energy transfer through the feedback network
A further phase shift is produced by the capacitor voltage divider. This oscillator
oscillates only at f p .

The above circuit shows Wein bridge oscillator in which Wein bridge circuit is connected
between the amplifier input and output terminal. The bridge has a series RC network in
one arm and a parallel RC network in adjoining arm. In the remaining two arms of the
bridge, resistors are connected.
The phase angle criterion for oscillation is that the total phase shift around the circuit
must be 0 . This condition occurs when the bridge is balanced, that is at resonance. The

#Design BJT phase shift oscillator for 1KHz Oscillating frequency. Given Collector
resistance RC=1k.Assume all other parameters required.(2008)
Given,RC=1K,f=1KHz, We assume that the value of R is 100K
For BJT,
f= 1/2RC(6+4(RC/R))
so,C=1/2*3.14*100*103*103(6+4(1/100))
