Electronic oscillator — An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repetitive electronic signal, often a sine wave or a square wave.A low frequency oscillator (LFO) is an electronic oscillator that generates an AC waveform between 0.1 Hz and 10 Hz … Wikipedia
Parametric oscillator — A parametric oscillator is a simple harmonic oscillator whose parameters (its resonance frequency omega and damping eta) vary in time in a defined wayAnother intuitive way of understanding a parametric oscillator is as follows: a parametric… … Wikipedia
Numerically controlled oscillator — A numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) is a digital signal generator which creates a synchronous (i.e. clocked), discrete time, discrete valued representation of a waveform, usually sinusoidal.[1] NCOs are often used in conjunction with a… … Wikipedia
Blocking oscillator — A blocking oscillator is the minimal configuration of discrete electronic components which can produce a free running signal, requiring only a capacitor, transformer, and one amplifying component. The name is derived from the fact that the… … Wikipedia
Canonical oscillator — A canonical oscillator is any system with two extremal states and a source of power that causes it to transition between states in a sinusoidal manner.In biology oscillators are common, such as the heartbeat.The theory of the canonical oscillator … Wikipedia
Frequency domain sensor — Frequency domain (FD) sensor is an instrument developed for measuring soil moisture content. The instrument has an oscillating circuit, the sensing part of the sensor is embedded in the soil, and the operating frequency will depend on the value… … Wikipedia
