Moderate

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.
