sine/cosine wave oscillator
When an alternating current signal is applied to a capacitor, the phase of the charging current and the voltage across the capacitor shifts by 90 degrees. Conversely, when an alternating current signal is applied to an inductor, the voltage change leads the current change by 90 degrees. When a signal is input to the non-inverting input terminal of an operational amplifier, the amplifier attempts to output a signal that is in phase with the input. However, due to the presence of a capacitor, the output of the operational amplifier corresponds to the charging current of the capacitor, resulting in the output voltage being 90 degrees out of phase with the input signal. Conversely, when a signal is input to the inverting terminal of the operational amplifier, the output attempts to produce an antiphase signal (180 degrees shifted). Given that the capacitor's voltage lags the charging current by 90 degrees, the output voltage of the operational amplifier is delayed by 270 degrees (180 degrees + 90 degrees) relative to the input signal. In an oscillation circuit utilizing an amplifier, oscillation occurs when the phase of the input signal and the feedback signal from the output are in phase. The circuit described features two integration circuits connected to the negative terminal input, resulting in a phase difference of 540 degrees (180 degrees), where the integration circuit alone does not oscillate. Therefore, a negative terminal input operational amplifier is included to create the oscillation loop. This circuit is referred to as a "State-Variable Type Active Filter" when feedback from point B is directed to the positive input of IC2. Typically, gain control in operational amplifiers is achieved through feedback to the negative input; however, in this oscillation circuit, the negative input is utilized for oscillation operation, preventing standard gain control. Instead, the oscillation voltage is regulated by feedback from the output of IC2 to the input of IC1. The output of IC2 lags by 90 degrees compared to the negative input of IC1. Increasing feedback from IC2's output suppresses the oscillation operation, allowing for stable oscillation control by adjusting the feedback voltage. Feedback is applied to both the positive and negative inputs of IC1 to minimize influence on the oscillation loop. The absence of resistor R3 halts the oscillation operation. Feedback control is managed using a FET, with the source of the FET connected to ground and feedback controlled through the positive terminal of IC1. The oscillator output generates a negative DC voltage via full-wave rectification, which is applied to the gate of the FET, altering the resistance between the drain and source. The operation of the FET is detailed in "Operation Explanation of the Sine Wave Oscillator." The rectified DC voltage varies with the oscillator output voltage; as the oscillator output increases, the rectified negative voltage amplifies, resulting in a higher resistance between the drain and source of the FET. This increase in resistance raises the feedback to the positive terminal of IC1, leading to a decrease in oscillation output.
In this circuit, the operational amplifier's functionality is critical for generating oscillations based on the phase relationships between input signals and feedback. The integration circuits serve to manipulate the phase shifts necessary for stable oscillation, while the FET provides a means of dynamic feedback control to maintain desired oscillation levels. The careful design of feedback paths ensures that the oscillation remains stable and responsive to changes in input conditions, making this configuration suitable for applications requiring precise signal generation and filtering. The use of rectification to generate control voltages for the FET allows for effective modulation of the feedback loop, further enhancing the performance of the oscillator circuit.When adding an alternating current signal to the capacitor, the wave position (the phase) of the charging current of the capacitor and the voltage of the capacitor shifts by 90 degrees. When adding an alternating current signal to the coil, it changes contrary to the capacitor. The change of the voltage moves ahead by 90 degrees with the change of the current. When a signal is inputted to the positive input terminal(Noninverting input) of the operational amplifier, the operational amplifier tries to output an in-phase signal as the output. However, because there is a capacitor, the output of the operational amplifier becomes the charging current of the capacitor.
The change of the voltage of the capacitor does the change to have been 90 degrees behind with the change of the charging current. Because it is, the output signal voltage of the operational amplifier becomes the signal to be 90 degrees behind from the input signal.
When a signal is inputted to the negative input terminal(Inverting input) of the operational amplifier, the operational amplifier tries to output the signal of the antiphase( 180 ° shifted signal ) as the output. Because it is 90 degrees behind in the voltage of the capacitor from the charging current, the output voltage of the operational amplifier becomes the signal to delay 270 degrees ( 180 ° + 90 ° ) from the input signal.
At the oscillation circuit which used an amplifier circuit, oscillation operation is done when the phase of the input signal of the amplifier and the phase of the signal which is fed back from the output are in-phase. The circuit which was made this time is using the two integration circuits of the negative terminal input.
The phase difference of the input and the output of the two integration circuits shifts by the 540 degrees (180 °) and only the integration circuit doesn`t oscillate. Therefore, the loop of the oscillation is made by putting a operational amplifier (180 °) of negative terminal input.
This circuit becomes the circuit which is called "State variable-type activist filter" when it makes feed back the signal to the positive input of the IC2 from the B point. In case of the operational amplifier, the control of the gain is generally done by the feedback to the negative input.
However, this time, the negative input of the operational amplifier of the oscillation circuit is used for the oscillation operation. Therefore, it isn`t possible to do usual gain control. The circuit this time controls the oscillation voltage by the feedback of the output of IC2 to the input of IC1.
The output of IC2 is 90 degrees delayed than the negative input of IC1. When increasing the feedback from the output of IC2, the oscillation operation is suppressed. Because it is, it is possible to make do the oscillation operation which was stable if controlling the feedback in the oscillation voltage. The feedback is made both of the positive and the negative input of IC1. It is because the influence to the oscillation loop makes not become big. When there is not R3, the oscillation operation stops. I use the FET for the control of the feedback. To connect the sauce of the FET with the grounding, the feedback control is done with the positive terminal of IC1.
As for the output of the oscillator, the negative DC voltage is made with the full wave rectified. This voltage is added to the gate of the FET and the resistance value between the drain and the sauce of the FET is changed. As for the operation of the FET, refer to " Operation explanation of the sine wave oscillator ". The rectified DC voltage changes at the output voltage of the oscillator. The rectified negative voltage becomes big when the output voltage of the oscillator becomes big. Then, the resistance value between the drain and the sauce of the FET becomes big. With this, the feedback into the positive terminal of IC1 increases and the output of the oscillation decreases.
