RC phase shift oscillator:

  • It consists of three pairs of RC combinations, each providing a 60° phase shift, thus a total of 180° phase shift.
  • RC oscillators are used to generate low or audio-frequency signals. Hence they are also known as audio-frequency oscillators.

The frequency of oscillation is given by:

 

Calculation:

Given, f = 1000 kHz

R = 500 kΩ
