Oscillator Category

An oscillator is an electronic circuit or device that generates a repetitive waveform, typically in the form of sine, square, or triangular waves. Key components in oscillators include capacitors, inductors, and transistors, which work together to produce consistent frequency signals. Oscillators are widely used in clocks, radios, computers, and signal generators to provide timing references and carrier signals. The frequency stability and phase noise characteristics of an oscillator significantly impact the performance of communication and measurement systems.
