oscillator, electronic

(ŏs`əlā'tər), electronic circuit that produces an output signal of a specific frequency. An oscillator generally consists of an amplifieramplifier,
device that accepts a varying input signal and produces an output signal that varies in the same way as the input but has a larger amplitude. The input signal may be a current, a voltage, a mechanical motion, or any other signal; the output signal is usually of the
