Sometimes the need arises to construct a really simple oscillator. This could hardly be simpler than the circuit shown here, which uses just three components, and offers five separate octaves, ...

Abstract: The paper presents a simple modification in the feedback network of standard Colpitts oscillator for the generation of high frequency chaos with enhanced power. The modification consists of ...

Using my Multisim SPICE tool to analyze an oscillator, I ran into a little bit of simulation trouble. My circuit was a simple Colpitts oscillator and the simulation showed that it would indeed ...

Junior Design final project: create metal detection system using off-the-shelf parts. Team consists of two Electrical Engineers (Georges Karam, Jonathan Fuentes (myself)) and three Computer Engineers ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a low-power Colpitts oscillator for use in stand-alone sensors measuring mechanical quantities, such as force. The Colpitts oscillator, known for its ...

Sometimes the best projects are the simple, quick hits. Easily designed, fast to build, and bonus points for working right the first time. Such projects very often lead to bigger and better things, ...
