History: A colpitts oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic oscillating
electrical signal. After a sine wave or square wave oscillator convert direct current from
a power supply to an alternating circuit signal. A basic oscillator circuit contain the
following
Point .



• Amplifier
• Frequency selector
• Feedback circuit
Condition for sustained oscillator : The basic oscillator circuit must obey Bark Huqsens
criteria to provide sustained oscillation. It state that “ The loop gain of the circuit must be
unity AB= 1 where A is the gain of the amplifier and B is the loop gain of the feedback factor”.
Net phase shift around the circuit must be 0 or 360 degree.
Oscillator classification:
Oscillators are often characterised by the frequency of their output signal. A oscillator
genetrates a frequency below 20 Hz. An audio oscillator producing signal range 16 t0 20
KHz. An RF oscillator produce signal range of about 100KHz To 100 GHz .
There are main two type of electronic oscillator, linear or harmonic oscillator and the non-
linear or relaxation oscillators.
According to the type of wave- form produced oscillators can be classified into one four
generic types, such as harmonic sawtooth, Relaxation and astable mulvibrators.
A colpitts oscillator is a harmonic oscillator circuit that produce a sine wave. The colpitts
oscillators known for using a capacitor voltage as its feedback source .

Construction: The colpitts oscillator circuit is made of three parts as amplifier circuit,
feedback circuit and tank circuit. The design of the colpitts oscillator uses two centre trapped
capacitors in series with parallel inductor to form its tank circuit and produce sinusoidal
oscillation. The colpitts oscillator uses a capacitive voltage divider network as its feedback
source . The two capacitor C1 and C2 are placed across a single inductor L as shown in
below






Figure: Tank Circuit
Then C1 and C2 and L form the tank circuit with the condition for oscillations being
Xc1+ Xc2 = XL
The emitter terminal of transistor is connected to junction of the two
capacitor and acts as a single voltage divider. Resistor R1 and R2
provides the used DC bias for the transistor while the capacitor acts as a
dc by- pass capacitor. When the collector supply voltage Vcc is
switched on the collector currents starts rising and changes the
capacitors C1 and C2 . When the capacitors are fully charged , they
discharge through coil L setting Vp damped harmonic oscillations in
the tank circuit. The oscillatory current in the tank circuit produce an a.c
voltage across C1 and C2. The oscillation across C2 are applied to the
base emitter junction of the transistor and appears n the amplified form
in the collector circuit . The feedback voltage is 180 degree out of the
phase as the centre of the capacitor is grounded. A phase shift of 180
degree is produced by the feedback network and further phase shift 180
degree between input and output voltage is produced by the CE
transistor . Hence, the total phase shift is 360 degree. Which is essential
for sustained oscillators as per Barkhausen criteria. So, we get
continuous undamped oscillation.

Formula: The frequency of oscillation for a colpitts oscillation is determined by the resonant
frequency of the LC tank circuit and given by
f= 1 /2π√LCT

Where, CT= C1 and C2 connected in series is given
CT= C1C2/(C1+C2) (uF)

4. Heating problem
