Noise (electronics)

Oscillator phase noise

Oscillators produce various levels of phase noise, or variations from perfect periodicity. Viewed as an additive noise, phase noise increases at frequencies close to the oscillation frequency or its harmonics. With the additive noise being close to the oscillation frequency, it cannot be removed by filtering without also removing the oscillation signal. All well-designed nonlinear oscillators have stable limit cycles, meaning that if perturbed, the oscillator will naturally return to its periodic limit cycle. When perturbed, the oscillator responds by spiraling back into the limit cycle, but not necessarily at the same phase. This is because the oscillator is autonomous; it has no stable time reference. The phase is free to drift. As a result, any perturbation of the oscillator causes the phase to drift, which explains why the noise produced by an oscillator is predominantly in phase. (Wikipedia).

Doppler Effect with Car Horn

The Doppler Effect—the sound of coming and going: When a source of sound is moving toward you, successive wavefronts arrive more frequently. You perceive this increase in frequency as a higher tone. Conversely, if the source of sound is moving away from you, the time between wavefronts

Demonstrating the phenomenon of beats on the oscilloscope (normal speed)

The main point of this demonstration is to hear the beats. It may be desirable, however, for the students to also have a visual display of what is happening to cause the beats. This is the purpose of the oscilloscope.

Theramin Physics Demonstration - Nps Physics

The theremin contains two radio-frequency oscillators (or resonant circuits). This is called a "beat frequency oscillator" by physicists and "ring modulation" by some guitarists. One oscillator operates at a fixed frequency, usually about 285 kHz and the other varies between 282 and 285 kH
