Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • ULTRA PURE 125KHz SINE WAVE SIGNAL SOURCE
    For some RFID systems operating at 125KHz, a very low distortion signal source reference is needed.  The circuit shown on this page produces a 10-volt peak-to-peak signal into a 50-ohm load, with a distortion of only 0.01%.

Twin-T Oscillator -  This circuit produces an extremely low distortion sine wave, in spite of the non-linear devices used for amplitude limiting (D1 and D2). The reason is first that distortion (harmonics) is fed to the minus input of the opamp with far less loss than to the plus input, severely attenuating them. Second, this oscillator rides a delicate....[Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 09/05)]

Voltage Controls Sine Wave Frequency -  08/17/95 EDN-Design Ideas....The circuit in Fig 1 generates a 50-Hz to 1-kHz sinusoidal waveform that exhibits lower than 60-dB THD. The input voltage controls the output frequency with the relationship 1 kHz/V. The output amplitude is invariant with frequency over the entire operating range. IC1 is a V/F converter....

Wien Bridge Oscillator - This circuit produces an extremely low distortion sine-wave, in spite of the non-linear devices used for amplitude limiting (D1 and D2). The reason is first that distortion (harmonics) are fed to the minus input of the opamp with far less loss than to the plus input, severely attenuating them. Second, a Wien bridge oscillator requires a gain of exactly 3.00. No more and no less. For lowest distortion, calculate the minimum and maximum available gain to just above and just below 3.00. In other words, use as little amplitude control as possible. [Designed by Andrew R. Morris]
