I'm having some trouble with my lab report on clapp oscillators. My theory class and lab are on separate days and my lab is moving faster than the stuff I learn in lecture. The lab instructor went over some of it but I'm still a little lost.
My 1st question is how do you find out the efficiency of the oscillator?
And how do you know if oscillation is sustained? I know two capacitors provide the proper feedback for oscillation and if either fails the oscillator won't work either. Do I calculate the gain? If so what gain am I supposed to get for it to be sustained?
Thanks for the help!
