Can this oscillator possibly work?

I am trying to build a crude RF oscillator. My first attempt, though it simulated fine, disappointingly did not oscillate when soldered together. So, to debug this, I reduced the simulation example ...

LTspice and ngspice simulation results differ by 5-6GHz

I simulated a basic CMOS inverter based 3 stage ring oscillator in both LTspice and ngspice, using the same model files (using NCSU's freepdk45 models (VTG slow slow corner)). I expected there to be ...

Generating a clear sinusoidal wave through the oscillator to generate the "Ding Dong" sound

I am working on a project to try to recreate a close replica of the "Ding Dong" doorbell sound. I have yet to make the decay. (I would definitely appreciate if you have tips for that.) I am ...

Why do the diodes make a huge difference in an RC sinewave generator circuit?

In the following LTspice simulation of a sine wave generator circuit, it cannot oscillate without D1 and D2, but as long as D1 and D2 are added, (1+R5/R6)=1.5 can also oscillate (as shown in the ...

LTspice: triangle wave circuit not producing any waveform

I've implemented this circuit in LTspice from this Triangle Wave Generator tutorial. Unfortunately, when I run the simulation, it doesn't produce a wave at all, just a flat VDC output. Any help would ...

Unable to get my astable multi-vibrator working in LTspice

I'm trying to build a basic square wave oscillator using an astable vibrator made with an op-amp for my Intro to Circuits class. Unfortunately, I cannot get LTspice to simulate the oscillations. I've ...

Is this supposed to be the output of this circuit?

I used LTspice to simulate a oscillator circuit to convert DC to AC. The oscillator is then connected to a class AB power amplifier to increase the circuit current. The load of the Class AB amplifier ...

LTSPICE: Dirty gate voltage and low gain - Hartley oscillator using MOSFET

I'm designing a Hartley oscillator using a MOSFET, but I have some issues. I've chosen L1 as 3 times L2 to obtain a gain of 3, however, it's more like 2.4. First of all, I can't understand why the ...

Simulating a RC Phase-Shift Oscillator in LTspice

I'm having some difficulties in simulating this circuit in LTspice. I'm using op amps in the inverting configuration and buffers between each stage but it's simply not working. The simulation runs for ...

Beginner nodal analysis exercise: Why would the voltage of the output of the op amp swing from 15V and 0V when op amp is in the follower configuration

I wanted to analyze the function of this circuit. When I simulate it the output of the op amp swings from 10 and 15V, but I can't seem to get there based on my analysis (by hand.) Say we start off the ...
