1. Introduction
This software simulation-based project forms one of your assessed submissions and will be used to
assess your practical and theoretical progress in this module. It will also assess your technical report
writing skills. The report is weighted 25% of your total grade of this module.
2. Project Brief
This project exercise is based on the work you do to design and study the operation and
characteristics of phase shift oscillator based on op-amp using Multisim software tool.
3. Software Tool
You will need to use Multisim software tool to complete this project. This software can be installed
on your PC from this link https:
www.mouser.com/multisimblue/support/downloads/download-
multisim or you can use Multisim Live on https:
www.multisim.com/.
4. Background of Phase Shift Oscillator
In general oscillation occurs in a circuit when there is positive feedback from the output to the input
(i.e. a phase shift of 0° or 360° between the output and the input), and simultaneously the overall
gain of the circuit is equal to or greater than one. For a circuit to oscillate at a single frequency, i.e.,
for a sine wave oscillator, this condition should occur at only one frequency.
A network consisting of a capacitor and a resistor in series has a phase that varies with frequency.
The largest phase shift that can be obtained with one capacitor and one resistor is less than 90°.
However, with three identical RC networks, one after the other, it is easy to obtain a 180° phase
shift at some particular frequency. We can then combine this with an inverting amplifier for a total
phase shift of 360°. The analysis is a little complicated because the three different RC networks load
each other. It turns out that the total attenuation of all three networks is a factor of 29, so that in
order to oscillate they must be combined with an amplifier that has at least that gain. The frequency
at which this occurs is given by:
?0 =
1
2?√6??

Careful: Do not confuse this formula with the formula for a 45° phase shift RC network which does
not contain a factor of 6.

5. Procedure
a) Design an inverting op-amp circuit with a gain of about 60 as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1
) Using ?0 equation, design a three stage RC filter network which has a gain of 1/29 and a
phase shift of 180° at a frequency near 1 ???. Note that ?2 should be greater than ?. Why?
Construct these and connect them as shown in Figure 1. What values did you choose for
esistors, capacitors, and supply voltages? Apply a signal to the input and observe the signal
at point D, as a function of frequency. Point A is 180° out of phase with the input. At what
frequency is point D in phase with the input? What is the overall gain, from the input to
point D, at this frequency? Careful: The gain at the output of the circuit, at the centre tap of
the potentiometer R, in general is smaller than the gain at point D.
c) Adjust the potentiometer R so that the overall gain to the "output" terminal shown in Figure
1 at the frequency found in Step (b) is about 1. Connect the output to the input. Does the
circuit oscillate? Readjust potentiometer R so that the circuit just barely oscillates.
d) Compare the theoretical frequency and the nominal attenuation of 29 in the RC network
with the values experimentally obtained. Why should there be differences?
e) Set a function generator to approximately the same frequency as that at which the circuit
oscillates. Apply a very small signal, about 10 ?? peak to peak, to the "sync" input of the
oscillator. This will cause the oscillator to synchronise, or lock into the same frequency as the
signal generator. Over how large a range in frequency can you "pull" the oscillator so that it
emains in synchronism with the signal generator? You can also lock on to multiples, or
harmonics of the frequency, especially with a larger input signal.
f) Using Multisim software tool, plot the attenuation and phase shift of the RC network you
designed for Figure 1 from 100 ?? to 10 ???. At what frequency is the gain 1/29? At what
frequency is the phase shift 180°?
g) Assignment Submission
The report should be Word processed, on A4 paper size. Your written report must be submitted to
the Canvas site of the module by the specified deadline on Canvas.

Introduction
When the oscillation produces with the help of the phase-shift method is known as the phase shift oscillator. In this assignment, the phase shift oscillator is simulated at the Multisim software. The inverting amplifier is used to design the phase shift oscillator at the given specifications. The gain of this oscillator is also determined
Test and measurement method
A) The given circuit is implemented at the Multisim software in which the capacitors and resistors are connected in a specific pattern which helps to shift the input signal. This phase shift used to shift the phase at 180 degrees due to which the 3 stages are required to connect with the amplifier. The inverting amplifier is used to design the phase shift oscillator in this circuit. In the RC phase shift oscillator, The circuit can be tuned at one particular frequency by putting the different values of R and C but usually, the frequency of the entire circuit is depended on the value of the value of the capacitor. The circuit’s frequency can be changed by changing the value of capacitors. These capacitors are connected in the series so, if the value of one capacitor is changed then all capacitors will be effected and the circuit will be tuned at one particular frequency.

Figure 2 Waveform of three stages RC Phase Shift Oscillator at 180
Analysis of results
The blue waveform is the phase-shifted waveform that comes from the 3rd stage of the RC network. The other waveform is the wave from the output of the op-amp. The shift of the input and output is the 180 degree and the frequency of both signals is 1khz (I
ahim and El-Azeem 2020).
)
Why the R2 resistor has greater value than the R1.?
In the phase shift oscillator, the feedback resistor is determined with the help of gain and shift resistor at which the shifting of phase is required. The resistance of feedback will be greater than resistor of the RC circuit used in the phase shift because the amplifier needs high resistance to control its gain whereas the phase shift resistor does not need heavy and uses as the bypass resistor.
