Now, you will learn about generating sinewave
signals. We can define a sinewave as a wave of pure
single-frequency tone. For example, a 400Hz
sinewave is a wave that oscillates 400 cycles in one
second and contains no other frequency
components. Non-sinewaves have harmonics -
waves with frequencies that are multiples of the
single-frequency fundamental wave. A non-sine
400Hz wave can include the 400Hz wave (its
fundamental wave) along with an 800Hz wave (its
2nd harmonic wave) and a 1200Hz wave (its third
harmonic wave).
An experienced technician can test a circuit by
using a sinewave and listening to its output. Soon,
you will be able to do this too. If you put in a
sinewave, and something else comes out, the
undesired harmonic frequencies must have been
generated somewhere in the circuit.
The part of this project that generates a 400Hz
sinewave has:
• A 0.1
μ
F capacitor connecting terminals 3 and
5 of the transformer to form a tank circuit that
resonates at about 600Hz.
• A 470k
Ω
resistor to turn on the base of the
transistor only a small amount.
• An adjustable feedback circuit that includes
the control and the 0.05
μ
F capacitor.
• A 100
Ω
resistor connected to the emitter to
help stabilize the circuit and keep the sound
from being distorted.
Connect the earphone to terminals 1 and 2 of the
transformer. Start with the control on maximum - 10
on the dial - and slowly decrease the control setting
while listening to the tone quality of the output.
Before the oscillations stop, you will reach a point
where you hear only one tone. This last clear-
sounding tone is the sinewave. Repeat these control
adjustments until you have no trouble distinguishing
between a sinewave and a distorted wave.
