Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around identifying applications for oscillator circuits and filter circuits. Participants explore various contexts in which these components are utilized, particularly in relation to transmitters and other electronic systems.
Discussion Character
- Homework-related
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant mentions knowing of an oscillator's application in a transmitter.
- Another participant suggests that oscillators are also needed in modulation/demodulation technologies.
- There is a request for two applications of filter circuits, with a suggestion to refer to Wikipedia for examples.
- A participant hints at the use of oscillators in timekeeping electronics, which utilize precision periodic signals.
- One participant expresses confusion about the assignment and seeks clarification on the required applications.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on specific applications, and multiple competing views regarding the uses of oscillators and filters remain. The discussion is ongoing and unresolved.
Contextual Notes
Some participants express uncertainty about the definitions and applications of the components in question, indicating a potential lack of clarity in the assignment requirements.
Who May Find This Useful
Individuals interested in electronics, particularly students working on assignments related to oscillator and filter applications.

Thank-you for the welcome :D
For use in a transmitter, that's the one I know
I also need 2 for a filter...

Fair enough. On that line of thought, where would you expect to find another need, then?Craplegend said:
Sorry? Is that an answer, or another question, or what??

If you recognize you need a sinusoidal oscillator in a transmitter, then it's a fair bet that one would also be needed in a ...?...
Are you getting your internet as DSL over the phone lines?
BTW, you are supposed to post homework questions in the homework forum so that kind-hearted respondents receive a subtle reminder not to supply overly generous answers. After all, it is your homework, so should involve evidence of your own endeavour.

If you try to find all kinds of technology with modulation/demodulation, then you will find lots of oscillators. If you consider the transmitter example you gave, you could break that down into more specific functions like VCOs. Searching applications of VCOs should give a lot of hints even outside of transmitters.
Also, think of time keeping electronics. They use precision periodic signals.
Filter circuits is easy. Wikipedia's article should give you more than 2 examples. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_filter look in the "See also" section.
This assignment should be really easy with the internet unless you're confused about what these components are.

You could think of some much lower frequencies for another application.

Ok thankyou for the help so far :-)
sorry I didn't post this in the correct place, just checking out filter circuits now.
