Wien bridge oscillator



With one double operational amplifier and a MOSFET transistor, a high quality low frequency can be done a sine oscillator. The operational amplifier is connected in a classic Wien bridge with positive feedback. The FET transistor directs the oscillations and ensures a stable oscillation of the oscillator.

Assuming that R = R2 = R3 and C = C1 = C2, the output frequency can be calculated from:

output frequency
If a continuously tunable oscillator is required, a double tuning capacitor from old radio receivers can be used instead of C1 and C2. The second option is to use a tandem, double potentiometer instead of R2 and R3.

Although this design can be implemented on a non-solderable field, I recommend implementation on a printed circuit board rather than a non-solderable field.
