Abstract :
The problem of undesirable low-frequency oscillation which may occur in oscillators with composite amplifiers is discussed. The article shows how the Wien-bridge oscillator proposed by Carlosena et al (1990) should be modified in order to avoid such oscillation and ensure stable operation of the oscillator and good properties of the sinusoidal waveform generated.
