Learn how to create a sine wave generator using operational amplifiers (op-amps) and a carefully designed feedback network. This experiment demonstrates the practical application of op-amps in generating continuous waveforms.
1. Use the op-amp in a phase shift oscillator configuration.
2. Connect the required resistors and capacitors to form the feedback network necessary for oscillation.
3. Power the circuit and use an oscilloscope to observe the output waveform.
The output should be a continuous sine wave with a frequency determined by the values of the resistors and capacitors in the feedback network.
Sine wave generators are commonly used in signal processing, audio equipment, testing circuits, and other electronic applications requiring smooth waveforms.
