  2. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger's output voltage through a RC network to its input.. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1] [2] [3] powered by a direct current (DC) source.

  3. Van der Pol oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator

    The circuit contains: a triode, a resistor R, a capacitor C, a coupled inductor-set with self inductance L and mutual inductance M. In the serial RLC circuit there is a current i, and towards the triode anode ("plate") a current i a, while there is a voltage u g on the triode control grid. The Van der Pol oscillator is forced by an AC voltage ...

  4. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    The motion is periodic, repeating itself in a sinusoidal fashion with constant amplitude A. In addition to its amplitude, the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is characterized by its period T = 2 π / ω {\displaystyle T=2\pi /\omega } , the time for a single oscillation or its frequency f = 1 / T {\displaystyle f=1/T} , the number of ...

  5. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples of oscillation include a swinging pendulum and alternating current .

  6. Bloch oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloch_oscillation

    Bloch oscillations were predicted by Nobel laureate Felix Bloch in 1929. [1] However, they were not experimentally observed for a long time, because in natural solid-state bodies, is (even with very high electric field strengths) not large enough to allow for full oscillations of the charge carriers within the diffraction and tunneling times, due to relatively small lattice periods.

  7. Vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration

    Vibration (from Latin vibrāre 'to shake') is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point.Vibration may be deterministic if the oscillations can be characterised precisely (e.g. the periodic motion of a pendulum), or random if the oscillations can only be analysed statistically (e.g. the movement of a tire on a gravel road).

  8. Barkhausen stability criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkhausen_stability_criterion

    Block diagram of a feedback oscillator circuit to which the Barkhausen criterion applies. It consists of an amplifying element A whose output v o is fed back into its input v f through a feedback network β(jω). To find the loop gain, the feedback loop is considered broken at some point and the output v o for a given input v i is calculated:

  9. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    Periodic motion is motion in which the position(s) of the system are expressible as periodic functions, all with the same period. For a function on the real numbers or on the integers , that means that the entire graph can be formed from copies of one particular portion, repeated at regular intervals.
