Sine-wave generator outputs precise periods
Rectangular pulse generators, even at high frequencies, are easy to design. However, the design becomes more difficult if you need a signal that contains a precise number of periods with a sinusoidal shape. Although it is easy to produce a good sine wave, the difficulty is producing a signal with a precise number of periods. The signal has to start and stop exactly at 0V. The scheme in Figure 1 can produce one to 15 periods of a 20-MHz sinusoidal wave. [...]

I introduce the oscillator which outputs the Sine wave and the Cosine wave at the same time using the operational amplifier. Because the distortion was big at the circuit to have been introducing before, I improved at the circuit with little distortion. The circuit this time combines the int ...
Many applications require a sinusoidal reference voltage synchronized to the ac line voltage. You cannot derive such a reference voltage directly from the ac line because the waveform of the ac line is distorted because of nonlinear loads connected to the line and because the amplitude of the li ...
Here is Circuit classic Wien Bridge oscillator using an Op-Amp covering a frequency range of 15 to 150kHz in four switched steps. Two conditions exist for a sinusoidal oscillator. Regenerative or positive feedback, and a closed loop gain of unity. The losses in the wien feedback circuit, ...
A modification of the Colpitts circuit, called a Clapp oscillator, is shown at the left. This circuit can be built and tested. The tuning capacitor is in series with the inductance; here, it is a fixed capacitor, but in a VFO it would be variable. All three capacitors are 0.001 μF in this cir ...
