Electronic oscillator

An electronic oscillator is a device that generates a continuous wave signal, usually in the form of sine, square, or triangular waves. It converts direct current (DC) from a power source into an alternating current (AC) waveform. Oscillators are fundamental components in various technologies, including clocks, radios, and computers, where they provide timing signals or carrier waves for communication. By using components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors, the oscillator creates regular oscillations, which can be adjusted based on the circuit design. Their reliability and precision make them essential in electronic systems.
