Your quartz watch, your cell phone, all electronics that uses a computer inside. The quartz crystal forms the time base for the digital pulses.

Crystal oscillators are also used in radio receivers and transmitters to provide accuracy in frequency selection.

In a transmitter it provides the exitation frequency. In the receiver it provides the local oscillator in a superhetrodyne setup.

Multifrequency devices (tunable and channelised radio) take the local oscillator and multiply and divide it, to provide a comparison frequency for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO is then controlled by a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) which holds the required frequency very accurately.

Which oscillator circuit uses a tapped coil in the tuned circuit?

Several oscillator designs use a tapped coil in the tuned circuit. The most common is the Hartley oscillator.


What is the difference between wien-bridge oscillator and phase-shift oscillator?

Rc phase shift uses negative feedback.. Weinbridge uses both +ve and -ve feedback


Is hartley oscillator is better than colpitt oscillator?

Colpitt oscillator is better than hartley because colpitt produces less phase noise and uses capacitor instead of inductor as used in hartley oscillator which means that area is also saved.


How hartley oscillator produces a output waveform without input?

it uses the noise in air.


What are oscillator crystals made out of?

Any where a stable desired frequency is needed. Crystal Oscillators are quite accurate, they are used in computers as well as wrist watches.They use a mechanical oscillatory force that is induced by an electric charge on a piezoelectric substance at resonance.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity~MECHASUN~


What does it means a quartz watch?

It is a watch that uses an oscillator based on a quartz crystal to electronically keep time. Older watches used gears and an escape mechanism to govern the speed. In a quartz watch, a precision cut piece of quartz is used in part of a circuit to generate a specific frequency. A quartz clock works similarly, but the quartz oscillator is used to control the speed of a motor.


How is colpitts oscillator better than hartley oscillator?

No because hartley uses inductors which are bulky and economically not feasible to obtain tuning inductors as compared to colpitt's which uses capacitors which are relatively very cheap and small.

What and how a quartz clock mechanism works?

A quartz clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logiccounts the cycles of this signal and provides anumeric time display, usually in units of hours,minutes, and seconds. Since the 1970s, they have become the most widely used timekeeping technology.

What is override switch?

The operator of the equipment uses his judgment to determine whether or not the equipment is functioning automatically as needed. In case its not, a switch allows control of some aspect of the operation to be changed or improved in a way the equipment can't do by itself. You may look up "override" in a dictionary.


What are some quartz uses?

to make radio circuits, radar, television, telephone circuits, ultrasonic equipment, and quartz oscillator plates in electronic products; as prisms, wedges, and lenses in optical spectrographs
