English: Diagram of an Armstrong oscillator circuit using a FET as the active device. The Armstrong oscillator, invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1913, was one of the earliest oscillator circuits. It is an LC oscillator, in which the frequency is determined by a tuned circuit consisting of the inductor L1 and capacitor C.
The Armstrong oscillator [1] (also known as the Meissner oscillator [2]) is an electronic oscillator circuit which uses an inductor and capacitor to generate an oscillation. The Meissner patent from 1913 describes a device for generating electrical vibrations, a radio transmitter used for on–off keying. Edwin Armstrong presented in 1915 some ...
English: Abstract block diagram of an electronic oscillator. It consists of an amplifying element with transfer function G(jω) with its output fed back into it's input through a feedback network with transfer function H(jω). The output voltage is labelled V o and the feedback voltage is labelled V f.
The Armstrong method generates a double sideband suppressed carrier signal, phase shifts this signal, and then reinserts the carrier to produce a frequency modulated signal. Frequency modulation generates high quality audio and greatly reduces the amount of noise on the channel when compared with amplitude modulation .
English: Block diagram of an electronic oscillator circuit, with the feedback loop broken to show how to calculate the loop gain. It consists of an amplifier element with amplification A, with its output V o fed back into its input V i through a feedback network with transfer function β(jω).
Vacuum tube regenerative receiver schematic. Most regenerative receivers used this Armstrong circuit, in which the feedback was applied to the input (grid) of the tube with a "tickler coil" winding on the tuning inductor.
A voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) is used for fine adjustment of the operating frequency. The frequency of a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator can be varied a few tens of parts per million (ppm) over a control voltage range of typically 0 to 3 volts, because the high Q factor of the crystals allows frequency control over only a ...
In order for a particular device to be used in an application, it must satisfy certain requirements. The operational amplifier must have large open-loop signal gain (voltage gain of 200,000 is obtained in early integrated circuit exemplars), and; have input impedance large with respect to values present in the feedback network.
