-An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating electronic signal, often a sine wave or a square wave.
-They produce continuous, repeated, alternating waveform without any input.
-Oscillators convert <em>unidirectional </em> direct current (DC) from a power supply to an alternating current (AC) signal of the desired frequency as determined by the circuit components.
