Wien bridge oscillator is an audio frequency sine wave oscillator of high stability and simplicity. Before that let us see what is oscillator? An oscillator is a circuit that produces periodic electric signals such as sine wave or square wave. The application of oscillator includes sine wave generator, local oscillator for synchronous receivers etc.
Here we are discussing wein bridge oscillator using 741 op amp IC. It is a low frequency oscillator. The op-amp used in this oscillator circuit is working as non-inverting amplifier mode. Here the feedback network need not provide any phase shift. The circuit can be viewed as a wien bridge with a series RC network in one arm and parallel RC network in the adjoining arm. Resistors Ri and Rf are connected in the remaining two arms.

Working of Wein bridge Oscillator
- The feedback signal in this oscillator circuit is connected to the non-inverting input terminal so that the op-amp works as a non-inverting amplifier.
- The condition of zero phase shift around the circuit is achieved by balancing the bridge, zero phase shift is essential for sustained oscillations.
- The frequency of oscillation is the resonant frequency of the balanced bridge and is given by the expression fo = 1/2πRC
- At resonant frequency ( ƒo), the inverting and non-inverting input voltages will be equal and "in-phase" so that the negative feedback signal will be cancelled out by the positive feedback causing the circuit to oscillate.
- From the analysis of the circuit, it can be seen that the feedback factor β= 1/3 at the frequency of oscillation. Therefore for sustained oscillation, the amplifier must have a gain of 3 so that the loop gain becomes unity.
- For an inverting amplifier the gain is set by the feedback resistor network Rf and Ri and is given as the ratio -Rf/Ri.
Design
The required frequency of oscillation fo=1kHz
we have,
Take C=0.01µF, then R=1.6kΩ (Use 1.5kΩ standard)
Gain of the amplifier section is given by,
Take Ri=1kΩ, then Rf=2.2kΩ (Use 4.7kΩ Potentio meter for fine corrections)
