Because it is very stable, the twin-T type audio
oscillator is very popular for use with electronic
organs and electronic test equipment.
The oscillation frequency depends on the resistors
and capacitors in the twin-T network. The letter T is
used because the schematic diagram for this circuit
shows its resistors and capacitor arranged in the
shape of the letter T. The term twin comes from the
face that there are two T networks in parallel across
from each other. The capacitors in series shift the
phase of the wave; the resistors in series supply
voltage to the transistor’s base as well as shifting the
phase of the wave.
Carefully adjust the circuit to obtain pure sinewave
output as in the previous two projects. Adjust the
control very slowly over its entire range until you
hear a tone in the earphone that is very low and
resembles the lowest note of a large pipe organ. This
control setting should be between 7 and 10 on your
dial.
Once the oscillation has started, adjust the control
carefully for the setting that gives the purest
sounding low note near the high end of the dial.
You can experiment with this circuit in many ways.
We suggest you try different values for the 10k
Ω
and
470
Ω
resistors, and try using higher and lower
battery voltages. Also, if you have a VOM, try
measuring circuit voltages.
