Tuned collector oscillator.

Tuned collector oscillation is a type of transistor LC oscillator where the tuned circuit (tank)
consists of a transformer and a capacitor is connected in the collector circuit of the
transistor. Tuned collector oscillator is of course the simplest and the basic type of LC
oscillators. The tuned circuit connected at the collector circuit behaves like a purely resistive
load at resonance and determines the oscillator frequency.The common applications of
tuned collector oscillator are RF oscillator circuits, mixers, frequency demodulators, signal
generators etc. The circuit diagram of a conventional tuned collector oscillator is shown in the
gure below.

In the circuit diagram resistor R1 and R2 forms a voltage divider bias for the transistor. Re is
the emitter resistor which is meant for thermal stability. It also limits the collector current of
the transistor. Ce is the emitter by-pass capacitor. The job of Ce is to by-pass the ampli ed
oscillations. If Ce is not there, the ampli ed AC oscillations will drop across Re and will add on
to the base-emitter voltage (Vbe) of the transistor and this will alter the DC biasing conditions.
Capacitor C1 and primary of the transformer L1 forms the tank circuit. C2 is the by-pass
capacitor for resistor R2.

Working of the tuned collector oscillator.

When the power supply is switched ON, the transistor starts conducting and the capacitor C1
starts charging. When the capacitor is fully charged, it starts discharging through the primary
coil L1. When the capacitor is fully discharged, the energy stored in the capacitor as
electrostatic eld will be moved to the inductor as electromagnetic eld. Now there will be no
more voltage across the capacitor to keep the current through the coil starts to collapse. In
order to oppose this the coil L1 generates a back emf (by electromagnetic induction) and this

back emf charges the capacitor again. Then capacitor discharges through the coil and the
cycle is repeated. This charging and discharging sets up a series of oscillations in the tank
circuit.
The oscillations produced in the tank circuit is fed back to the base of transistor Q1 by the
secondary coil by inductive coupling. The amount of feedback can be adjusted by varying the
turns ratio of the transformer. The winding direction of the secondary coil (L2) is in such a
way that the voltage across it will be 180 phase opposite to that of the voltage across
primary (L1). Thus the feedback circuit produces a phase shift of 180 and the transistor
alone produces a phase shift of another 180. As a result a total phase shift of 360 is

obtained between input and output and it is a very necessary condition for positive feedback
and sustained oscillations.

The collector current of the transistor compensates the energy lost in the tank circuit. This is
done by taking a small amount of voltage from the tank circuit, amplifying it and applying it
back to the tank circuit. Capacitor C1 can be made variable in variable frequency applications.

equation:
F = 1/[2(L1C1)]
Where F is the frequency of oscillation. L1 is the inductance of the transformer primary and
C1 is the capacitance.
