← ScienceWhich consequence results when an amplifier circuit oscillation?
A)Uncontrolled output signal transmission✓
B)Increased signal-to-noise ratio
C)Improved signal fidelity
D)Reduced power consumption
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled output signal transmission occurs because positive feedback triggers sustained, self-reinforcing oscillations; this is the Barkhausen criterion. The resultant oscillations swamp out useful signal, therefore disrupting signal propagation, rather than improving it.
