LC Tunable Oscillator Team Members: Hubert Mamba Fu Jingyi Wang Jian ELG4135 Electronics III Project 精品文档 Introduction Tuned oscillators are largely used in data transmissions and radio communications. In RF circuits, mainly LC oscillators are used and their frequency is, most of the time, controlled using a variable-capacitance (varicap) diode . This method is a little bit complicated and costly . We present a single grounded resistance tunable sinusoidal oscillator that requires only three transistors, some passive components and no variable-capacitance and the oscillating frequency is controlled through a grounded resistor. Another grounded resistor independently controls the condition of oscillation. 精品文档 Main Objective: The main objective of this project is to investigate the performance of the new method (Single grounded resistance tunable Sinusoidal Oscillator). The usual method (VCO) requires the use of variable-capacitance diode to control the oscillating frequency value. This VCO is expensive and complicated to fabricate. Differential VCO (Collpitt) Oscillator. (from Lucio Carlo Rodoni “http://n.ethz.ch/student/rodonil/da/bericht/node28.html” 精品文档 Main Objective (cont’d) The alternative (new) method requires no variable-capacitance, it is not expensive and is easy to implement. Its circuit diagram is shown in the figure bellow. 精品文档 Background Knowledge Review Many people have proposed different models to produce and control Oscillating frequency for different purposes. Bellow is a circuit analysis of a simple LC oscillator. We can see that the oscillating frequency depends on the value of L and C. LC circuit oscillating frequency calculation: 精品文档 Circuit analysis result Theoretical calculation: The above formulas are copied from our report. 精品文档 The doted curves are got From the Multisim simulation. Theoretical Results The simulation on Multisim 8 shows that for k=-1, the oscillating frequency is increasing as R3 inc
