About TUNED OSCILLATOR
Specification:
TUNED OSCILLATOR
To calculate the resonant frequency (at which there is maximum amplitude at the output).
Horizontal oscillations (to deflection yoke) results to a given input signal by parallel combination of R & C (or) L & C at the collector.
The resonant frequency is calculated by theoretical formula and verified by this experiment.
To plot the curve voltage gain versus frequency.
Robust Construction and DesignEncased in a green, powder-coated metal enclosure, the oscillator ensures both physical durability and optimal heat dissipation through natural air cooling.
