HereweareusingaBC107transistorforimplementingRCphaseshiftoscillator.BC107is
anaudiofrequencytransistorwhichismadeupofsilicon.
Ifweuseacommonemitteramplifierwitharesistivecollectorload,therewillbea180

Ifalltheresistors,Randthecapacitors,Cinthephaseshiftnetworkareequalinvalue,thenthe
frequencyofoscillationsproducedbytheRCoscillatorisgivenas:
Where:ristheOutputFrequencyinHertz

NisthenumberofRCstages.(N=3)
WhyRCphaseshiftoscillatoruses3RCstages?
NumberofRCstageswillimprovethefrequencypermanence.Thetotalphaseshift
establishedbythefeedbacknetworkmustbe180degreesforsustainedoscillations.Ifwe
areusingNRCstages,eachRCsectionprovides180/Ndegreephaseshift.
When2RCsectionsarecascaded,thefrequencystabilityispoor.For3sectionscascaded,
thephasechangerateishighsowegetimprovedfrequencystability.Howeverfor4RC
sectionsthereisagoodphasechangerateresultinginthemoststableoscillator
configuration.But4RCsegmentsenhancecostandmakescircuitcomplexity.
Hencephaseshiftoscillatorsmakeuseof3RCsectionsandinthateachsectiongivesa
phaseshiftof60degree.Thelatter3RCnetworksaregenerallyusedinhighprecision
