A video tutorial has been released on YouTube by saisri showing how to simulate a Colpitts oscillator using NI Multisim 14.3.
The oscillator is a simple analog circuit which produces a stable sine wave and is a deceptively straightforward exercise.
The video shows the placement and wiring of components and highlights the importance of precision when simulating circuitry.
The tutorial walks users through the process from selecting components to running the simulation and understanding the output.
The video includes a bonus manual containing theory, waveforms, and circuit diagrams, as well as links to additional resources.
Critics have said that the video could be improved with a more detailed explanation of the theory and how the circuit works, and that the distraction of added music could be avoided.
