Wien bridge oscillator

Wien bridge oscillator simulation through differential equation solving

You are now following this Submission

This function simulates the functioning of a Wien bridge oscillator through the numerical solving of its descriptive second order differential equation. The negative feedback loop includes a simple incandescent lamp model, whose resistance, sensitive to the heating coming from Joule effect, stabilizes the gain of the oscillator amplifier.
