Advantages and disadvantages of RC phase shift oscillator

There are some advantages of RC phase shift oscillator which are given below.

• RC phase shift oscillators does not require any negative feedback and stabilization arrangements.
• In the audio range, it is helpful for frequencies.
• It has simple circuit.
• It has a wide range of frequency.
• The RC phase shift oscillator gives good frequency stability.
• The output of this circuit is sinusoidal that is it has small distortion free.
• It is suitable for lower frequencies and this lower limit exists in as low as 1 Hz.

There are some disadvantages of RC phase shift oscillator which are given below.

• The RC phase shift oscillator requires high Vcc for large feedback.
• The RC phase shift oscillators are hard for the circuit to start oscillations.
• The output is small because of the smaller feedback.
• It has poor frequency stability.
