What is an angle of phase shift for each designed RC network in the Phase Shift Oscillator circuit?(a) 60^o(b) 90^o(c) 180^o(d) 45^oThe question was posed to me during a job interview.My doubt is from Frequency Compensation topic in chapter Frequency Response of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Right option is (a) 60^o

Explanation: R-C phase shift oscillator CONSISTS of three identical basic R-C phase shifting kind of networks approved in the cascade configuration.

Thus, the total phase shift introduced by three stage R-C network is equal to 180^o, which implies that the output of network LEADS its input by 180^o. As a result, it infers that each phase-shift stage acquires the phase shift of about 60^o.

RC network is also renowned as ‘Ladder network’. The phase-shift of about 180^o is generated PARTICULARLY at one particular frequency, which is MEASURED to be the frequency of operation of the oscillator.
