One condition for oscillation is_____________?

Correct answer: C. A phase shift around the feedback loop of 0o

  • A. A phase shift around the feedback loop of 180o
  • B. A gain around the feedback loop of one-third
  • C. A phase shift around the feedback loop of 0o
  • D. A gain around the feedback loop of less than 1

Explanation

The Barkhausen phase condition requires the net phase shift around the feedback loop to be 0° or an integral multiple of 360°. The loop gain must also be unity for sustained oscillation, but option c states the phase condition.
