try another op amp. I could be changes in the input bias current that is causing a strange voltage drop across the 10k resistors. The LM358 is not really a high quality op amp it`s the diodes in the feedback loop. that`s a poor choice of limiter for a sine wave oscillator. usually wien bridge oscillators use a slow nonlinear element for maintainin

g a constant signal, such as an incandescent lamp or a fet driven by a rectified and filtered portion of the output signal. I have to agree that the main reason for the `hump` is because of the diodes. The diodes have a relatively sharp IV curve so although they do limit the gain, they do so very abruptly and this shows up as distortion on the output. This of course assumes that the frequency of operation is within the limit that the op amp can easily handle. First is to increase the output voltage so the hump isnt as significant relative to the total amplitude. This means increasing the gain and making sure the power supply voltage is high enough. Second, you can soften the two diode curves by placing a resistance in series with them. You then work the diodes plus series resistance against a bigger resistance value (bigger than 10k) so you still get automatic gain adjustment. Say you start with 20k in series with the diodes, then maybe 50k in parallel and adjust the impedance of the other two resistances in the negative feedback network to provide approximately the same gain (but maybe a bit higher as above). Once the diode curves are softened the gain change wont be as abrupt and should provide for a cleaner output. So really all you would be doing is placing a resistance in series with the two diodes, then adjusting the impedance of the other negative feedback elements (going higher) so they can still work effectively...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
