How is the frequency of oscillation selected out of the noise?

  • A.The supply's switching transient excites only that frequency
  • B.The non-linearity suppresses every other frequency present
  • C.Only at one frequency are both conditions met
  • D.The amplifier's bandwidth admits only that frequency

Answer: C

The frequency-determining network gives the right phase shift at exactly one frequency, and the gain condition is arranged to be satisfied there, so only that component of the noise grows. The amplifier's bandwidth is far wider, the transient is broadband, and the non-linearity acts on amplitude rather than selecting frequency. It is the coincidence of the two conditions that does the selecting, which is why the sharpness of the phase characteristic decides how precisely the frequency is defined.
