OSCILLATOR NOISE REDUCTION THROUGH THE USE OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

Date Issued:
1985
Summary:
It has been conjectured that the addition of negative feedback in an oscillator can reduce the noise generated at frequencies close to the oscillation frequency f0. In this thesis the noise of a bipolar transistor used in a Hartley oscillator configuration is measured for different values of unbypassed emitter resistance. It is found that the noise is substantially reduced as the negative feedback introduced by the emitter resistance is increased. A detailed noise analysis is included, the results of which predict t he observed reduction in the oscillator noise. The oscillation frequency of the test oscillator is approximately 50 Mhz, but the results are general and can be applied at any frequency. Included are two listings of computer programs that were u sed to perform the noise analysis.
