when the imput signal is so much that is oscillates the speaker, all an oscillator is defined as a device with A.C. feedback.
To create oscillators...........
Oscillators produce a waveform (mostly sine or square waves) of desired amplitude and frequency. They can take input from the output itself. For a complete oscillator circuit we require a feedback device, amplifier and feedback factor.
Four types of LC oscillators include voltage controlled oscillators, drift control oscillators, crystal oscillators, and tuned circuit oscillators. A tuned circuit oscillator is the most common type of oscillator.
The amplifier projects the audio signal into something we can comprehend. The oscillator creates a fixed or variable pitch, which is fed to the amplifier. Amplifiers are circuits which transfer an input signal into an output signal. Oscillators are autonomous circuits powered by a constant energy source. They produce a steady state signal e.g. a sinusoidal signal or a chaotic signal.
Positive feedback is used in oscillators to keep them running or oscillating. An oscillator is basically an amplifier which has a feedback path from the output back to the input. This permits a portion of the output signal to get back to the input to "keep things going" in stage - to keep things oscillating. The feedback must be positive so that it will "contribute" to the stage being able to keep oscillating. If the feedback was negative, it would serve to damp the oscillation and to "kill" the oscillator.
A phase-shift oscillator is a simple electronic oscillator circuit. It consists of an inverting amplifier element such as a transistor or op amp, with its output fed back into its input through an filterconsisting of a network of resistors and capacitors. The feddback network 'shifts' the phase of the amplifier output by 180 degrees at the oscillation frequency, to give positive feedback.[1] Phase shift oscillators are mostly used at lower frequencies, often in the audio frequency range as audio oscillators.
Feedback oscillators have a closed loop gain of
They are both used for similar functions, such as oscillators, amplifiers, and switches. The vacuum tube was invented first, and has therefore been around longer than the transistor.
