1KHz Sine wave Generator
The circuit utilizes an inverted Wien bridge oscillator, which is a well-established method for generating sine waves. The core of the circuit comprises two capacitors (C1 and C2) and four resistors (R3 and R4) configured to create a feedback loop that stabilizes the oscillation frequency at 1 kHz. The use of precision components in the feedback network is crucial for minimizing distortion and ensuring a clean sine wave output.
The variable output feature allows for adjustments in amplitude, which is essential for testing various audio equipment without exceeding their input limits. The low output impedance is significant as it enables the circuit to drive loads effectively, maintaining signal integrity even when connected to multiple devices or under varying load conditions.
Incorporating a small filament bulb serves a dual purpose: it acts as a stabilizing element in the circuit and provides visual feedback on the output amplitude. As the output amplitude varies, the filament bulb's brightness changes correspondingly, allowing the user to monitor the output level easily.
This sine wave generator is particularly useful for testing high-fidelity audio devices, such as the Precision Audio Millivoltmeter and the Three-Level Audio Power Indicator. By providing a stable sine wave signal, the circuit facilitates the evaluation of frequency response, distortion characteristics, and overall performance of audio circuits, making it an invaluable tool in audio engineering and testing environments.This circuit generates a good 1KHz sinewave adopting the inverted Wien bridge configuration (C1-R3 & C2-R4). It features a variable output, low distortion and low output impedance in order to obtain good overload capability.
