The above RC network consists of a series RC circuit connected to a parallel RC forming basically a High P as s Filt er connected to a Low P as s Filt er producing a very selective second-order frequency dependant B and P as s Filt er with a high Q factor at the selected frequency, r. At low frequencies the reactance of the series capacitor (C1) is very high so acts like an open circuit and blocks any input signal at Vin. Therefore there is no output signal, Vout . At high frequencies, the reactance of the parallel capacitor, (C2) is very low so this parallel connected capacitor acts like a short circuit on the output so again there is no output signal. However, between these two extremes the output voltage reaches a maximum value with the frequency at which this happens being called the Resonant Frequency, (r). At this resonant frequency, the circuits reactance equals its resistance as Xc = R so the phase shift between the input and output equals zero degrees. The magnitude of the output voltage is therefore at its maximum and is equal to one third (1/3) of the input voltage as shown.

It can be seen that at very low frequencies the phase angle between the input and output signals is "Positive" (Phase Advanced), while at very high frequencies the phase angle becomes "Negative" (Phase Delay). In the middle of these two points the circuit is at its resonant frequency, (r) with the two o signals being "in-phase" or 0 . We can therefore define this resonant frequency point with the following expression.
Resonant Frequency
Where: r is the Resonant Frequency in Hertz R is the Resistance in Ohms C is the Capacitance in Farads Then this frequency selective RC network forms the basis of the Wien Bridge Oscillator circuit. If we now place this RC network across a non-inverting amplifier which has a gain of 1+R1/R2 the following oscillator circuit is produced.
The output of the operational amplifier is fed back to both the inputs of the amplifier. One part of the feedback signal is connected to the inverting input terminal (negative feedback) via the resistor divider network of R1 and R2 which allows the amplifiers voltage gain to be adjusted within narrow limits. The other part is fed back to the non-inverting input terminal (positive feedback) via the RC Wien Bridge network. www.electronics-tutorials.ws/oscillator/wien_bridge.html 2/3

Wien Bridge Oscillator Tutorial The RC network is connected in the positive feedback path of the amplifier and has zero phase shift a just one frequency. Then at the selected resonant frequency, ( r ) the voltages applied to the inverting and non-inverting inputs will be equal and "in-phase" so the pos itive feedback will cancel out the negative feedback signal causing the circuit to oscillate. Also the voltage gain of the amplifier circuit MUST be equal to three "Gain = 3" for oscillations to start. This value is set by the feedback resistor network, R1 and R2 for an inverting amplifier and is given as the ratio -R1/R2. Also, due to the open-loop gain limitations of operational amplifiers, frequencies above 1MHz are unachievable without the use of special high frequency op-amps.
Example No1
Determine the maximum and minimum frequency of oscillations of a Wien Bridge Oscillator circuit having a resistor of 10k and a variable capacitor of 1nF to 1000nF. The frequency of oscillations for a Wien Bridge Oscillator is given as:
Lowest Frequency
Highest Frequency
In our final look at Oscillators , we will examine the Cry s t al Os c illat or which uses a quartz crystal as its tank circuit to produce a high frequency and very stable sinusoidal waveform.
