INTRODUCTION:

Colpitts Oscillator is designed for the generation of high


frequency sinusoidal oscillations with the frequencies
ranging from 10 KHz -300MHz.This is bipolar junction
transistor (BJT).
When the power supplies are switched ON the capacitor
starts charging and after the capacitors get fully charged it
Starts discharging through the inductor causing damped
harmonic oscillations. Hence the generation of oscillation
and the frequencies of oscillations are determined by
using the resonant frequency of a TANK circuit consisting
of inductors and capacitors. The capacitors forms potential
divider and this tapped capacitance in the tank circuit can
be used to provide better frequency stability compared to
the Hartley oscillator.

𝑓𝑟 is the resonant frequency.
C is the equivalent capacitance.
L is the self inductance in tank circuit.
