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.


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 are quartz clock?

A quartz clock is a type of clock that uses an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. The quartz crystal vibrates at a specific frequency when an electric current passes through it, providing precise timekeeping. Quartz clocks are known for their accuracy and are commonly used in everyday timekeeping devices such as wristwatches and wall clocks.


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

A Wien-bridge oscillator generates a sinusoidal waveform using an op-amp and a feedback network with both resistors and capacitors, while a phase-shift oscillator uses an RC network to introduce phase shifts in the feedback path to generate oscillations. Wien-bridge oscillators are typically used for audio frequency applications, whereas phase-shift oscillators are commonly used for higher frequency applications.


How a triode valve can be used as an oscillator?

An amplifier can be made into an oscillator by feeding back part of the output to the input. A simple oscillator uses a Frequency Determining Network (FDN) in the feedback path to give a predictable frequency of oscillation. There are some simple requirements - the valve must be capable of operating at the desired frequency, and the total gain (loop gain) from output to input must be at least unity. Many oscillators use tuned inductive-capacitive circuits, but it's also possible to use a resistive-capacitive circuit, or a quartz crystal as the FDN.


What is an FRC oscillator?

An FRC (Frequency-Referenced Clock) oscillator is a type of electronic oscillator that uses a stable reference frequency to generate a precise output frequency. It typically employs feedback mechanisms to maintain frequency stability and can be used in various applications, including telecommunications and signal processing. The FRC oscillator’s design allows for reduced phase noise and improved accuracy compared to traditional oscillators.
