A)negative feedback
B)attenuation
C)signal feed-through
D)positive feedback

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oscillators are designed to generate a continuous waveform with a desired frequency and amplitude. The principle of positive feedback is what enables the oscillator to maintain this continuous waveform. Positive feedback occurs when a fraction of the output signal is fed back to the input, reinforcing the original signal and causing it to grow in amplitude. This process repeats itself in a continuous cycle, resulting in the desired oscillation.
