Theory
RC circuits can be used to filter a signal by blocking certain frequencies and passing others.
The two most common RC filters are the high-pass filters and low-pass filters; band-pass
filters and band-stop filters usually require RLC filters, though crude ones can be made with
RC filters. Phasor is one of the ways by which we can represent AC sinusoidal signals. And
at the end, voltage and current relationship between the basic circuit elements like resistor,
inductor, and capacitor has been explained using phasor diagram. A phasor diagram is used
to show the phase relationships between two or more sine waves having the same frequency.
A phase-shift oscillator is a linear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a sine wave
output. It consists of an inverting amplifier element such as a transistor or op amp with its
output fed back to its input through a phase-shift network consisting of resistors and
capacitors in a ladder network.
The circuit consists of a 3-stage RC filter, a voltage follower, and an inverting amplifier. The
inverting amplifier's gain is -R/1k where the resistance R is to be determined. The dynamics
of the circuit is determined by the 3-stage RC filter. Each RC stage can provide up to 90
degrees of phase shift. With 3 such stages connected in cascade, the total phase shift can
reach 270 degrees at high frequency. In order to obtain zero phase margine, the feedback gain
must be set so that the loop gain is unity at the cross over frequency.
In practice, it is impossible to keep the phase margin exactly at zero as required for an
oscillator producing constant amplitude output. In other words, the poles of the circuit cannot
be positioned exactly on the imaginary axes. If the phase margin becomes negative (i.e., poles
shift slightly to the right of the imaginary axes) the output signal's amplitude will increase
exponentially. If the phase margin is positive (i.e., poles shift to the left), the output
amplitude will decrease exponentially.
