Sinusoidal Wave Oscillator
editConsider a series circuit of L and C connected in series
Standing Wave Oscillator
editThe circuit of series L and C operates in resonance when the impedance of the two components cancel out
Circuit has the capability to generate Standing Wave oscillating at
Exponential Decay Sinusoidal Wave Oscillator
editConsider circuit of RLC connected in series
When
The circuit has the ability to generate Exponenential Decreasing Amplitude Sinusoidal Wave
Summary
