Oscillators

Oscillators are tools used in electronics and signal processing to generate periodic, repetitive signals such as sine waves or square waves. They create stable, repeating patterns without needing an external input once powered, useful for clocks in computers, radio transmissions, and audio equipment. Think of oscillators as devices that produce consistent rhythmic signals, much like a metronome keeping time in music. They operate by converting energy within a circuit into a continuous wave, maintaining a steady output essential for synchronization and timing in various electronic systems.
