Who knows how to make a simple sine wave oscillator?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a simple sine wave oscillator using basic electronic components: diodes (normal and zener), capacitors, inductors, and resistors. Participants emphasize the challenge of constructing such an oscillator without transistors and highlight the necessity of an energy source, such as a battery, to initiate oscillation. The conversation underscores the importance of clarifying whether the desired output is a temporary or persistent oscillation for effective guidance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electronic components: diodes, capacitors, inductors, and resistors
  • Knowledge of oscillation principles in electronics
  • Familiarity with circuit design and energy sources
  • Experience with simple oscillator circuits
NEXT STEPS
  • Research basic sine wave oscillator designs using passive components
  • Explore the role of energy sources in electronic oscillators
  • Learn about the function and application of zener diodes in circuits
  • Investigate methods for achieving persistent oscillation without transistors
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, students working on basic circuit projects, and hobbyists interested in oscillator design using limited components.

Hi.

I want some information about how to make this. But that's not the prob. the prob. is that you can only use: Diodes (Normal & zener), capacitors, inductors & resistors, U can not use complex devices. If U know something, please reply this message.

Thanks.

Sounds like homework with restrictions like that.

Google.

If you cannot use transistors then you will have just that much more of a little challenge to figure out.

There is not enough info in your question -- the components you mention will sit there doing nothing - you need at least one energy source to start even if it's a battery and you did not say whether it is a temporary or persistent oscillation. Expand if you want an answer. Ray
