For an oscillator to properly start, the gain around the feedback loop must initially be_________?
Correct answer: B. Greater than 1
- A. 1
- B. Greater than 1
- C. Less than 1
- D. Equal to attenuation of feedback circuit
Explanation
An oscillator must begin with a loop gain greater than unity so that the initially small signal grows. Once steady oscillations are established, the loop gain settles to unity.
