Abstract
The Barkhausen criterion has been widely used to determine the oscillation startup condition. However, we propose it is only partially correct. The general oscillation condition and the relation between the general oscillation condition and the Barkhausen criterion are reviewed in this paper. The oscillation frequency related to the general oscillation startup condition is also presented.
