Thank-you @hurz for helping. ☺ RC phase shift oscillator Theoretically, The gain of Feedback circuit is 1/29. So I adjusted the gain of Amplifier to 29 for sustained oscillations. Rf=29*R1 But I increased the gain a bit to 44.7 by Rf=29Kohm R1=649ohm To get frequency of 1Khz F=1/(2×π×R×C×√6) Assuming C=0.1uF R=649ohm

I think you have to kickstart the circuit giving it a scake

1. Gain has to be a little more then 29 e.g 29.1 ; 2. You forgot the input impedance of your inverting opamp circuit. Increase both resistor or calc the last phase shift resistor new with the given 1k one in parallel ; homwork ;-). 3. Go down in sim speed to 100us/s. 4. Even if its oscillating, its not a nice sine wave because of clipping. 5. Set back opamp gain to default, otherwise you cant do the math to calc approx 29.1 gain. Hope this helps.

@hurz removing the last rc phase shift resistor, does the trick. See there, I added a switch. Will this work on breadboard?

You didn't get the point. Why not replace 1k with 649 ? And all other tipps i gave?

@hurz ok done, so we have increased the gain to 44.7 i didn't understand why does damp at high simulation speed. Will it work on breadboard ?

Why 44.7?

Define what happens gain < 29 < gain only for sn infinite small part! And for the case of exact 29! Three different situation. This kind of oscillator i would call labile

Yes, its working inreality as it runs here in simulation. Only difference, in simulation you have numerical loss by interpolation and more important by undersampling.

Its the gain if Amplifier = Rf/R1 = 29K/649 = 44.68412943 ~44.7

From filter seen now, there are 2 resistors 649Ohm to ground. One can be removed. The one for the amp is needed.

Yes I removed the last 649ohm resistor. Is it correct?

Yes, impedance is now ok. But frequency is still wrong and will never be exact what this formular give you. Cuz this kind of osci must go into clipping and this shifts the out spectrum partly into higher regions. All in all amplitude and phase get distorted and the hole thing is nonlinear. How bad is that?... But this can be reduced by using as close as possible the perfect gain value with some little +. Your gain now is by far to high with 44.7

So let R1 be 1Kohm. But still freq is not matching theoretical value

I try again :-( your rc shift circuit is made by 3x times r and c. The third R is the input resistor at opamp. The neg input can be seen as grounded!!!!!!!!! Think about.

I didn't understand. I am a beginner. Please explain in simple language. Can you build it for me.

If you are a beginner start with "examples".

BTW, i already made a circuit you probably haven't seen. http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6249235795148800
