Wien Bridge Oscillator

Introduction
Electronic circuits known as oscillators can produce periodic signals,
such as sine waves or other alternating waves, without requiring an
input signal. To put it another way, an oscillator changes a power
supply's direct current into an alternating current signal. Signal
generators are commonly employed in many electronic systems, and
the oscillator. Task 2

alternating waves. Put otherwise, an oscillator creates an alternating
current signal from the direct current coming from a power source.
Among oscillators that produce sinusoidal signals, the Wien bridge
oscillator is one of the most common types. The circuit diagram for a
simple Wien bridge oscillator is displayed in Figure 1. Positive
feedback plus a non-inverting op-amp make up this circuit. To gain a

encouraged, although groups should not consist of more than
two people. It is recommended that you prepare for the
experiment beforehand by learning about the theoretical
background, circuit design, and specific experimental protocols in
order to effectively complete all experiment activities within the
allotted laboratory time. Please make sure to capture and gather all
pertinent information for your report during the experiment
