&lt;p style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;margin:0;max-width:744px;padding:8px;"&gt;In this theory-based episode, we look at what it takes to make a Colpitts oscillator produce a sine wave. We cover Barkhausen&amp;rsquo;s criteria in order to keep the oscillation going, a basic NPN transistor amplifier which controls the gain, and calculating the resonance of the LC circuit&amp;rsquo;s feedback network. Though there are better options for a more spectrally pure and accurate sine wave, the common-emitter BJT Colpitts makes for a good building block and starting point when learning about oscillators.&lt;/p&gt;
