Thus, minimum numbers of passive components are used to devise a canonic sinusoidal oscillator. The circuit provides non-interactive electronic tuning of both the Condition of Oscillation (CO) and the Frequency of Oscillation (FO) via the gains of two di erent analog multipliers. The impedance at output node exhibits low impedance which is easy to directly connect to load without any additional voltage bu er. The proposed circuit has been simulated in SPICE using macro-model of AD844 CFOA ICs and AD633 multiplier ICs. %U https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3897_89bba4127bce6460fe391cc3dbfe9551.pdf
