Why ? Is it due to networks nature ? Thats again force me to ask that if yes then it is due to nonlinearity of active device ?At the threshold of the output clipping or getting distorted from saturation, the gain effectively decreases
So we have to employ a external device for this? But I read on some sites and books that it is the nature of the network (so called onset nonlinearity of active device)which bring down the LG near to 1 (they called it as steady state) .To avoid such a hard clipping and to improve non-linear distortions, in most cases a "soft-limiting" device is included which automatically decreases the loop gain "more softly".
There are several methods to perform this task - as the most simple method two anti-parallel diodes can be used across the gain-fixing resistor. As an alternative, one can use control-loop (AGC) based on an amplitude-controlled resistor (example: FET). It is the task of these non-linear devices to bring the loop gain LG automatically back to unity for rising amplitudes (to bring the poles back to the imaginary axis).
The book says "onset of linearity", which isn't but a longwinded way to say that the nonlinearity is just beginning. Steady state means that the oscillation amplitude has settled to it's final value. As LvW explained, this only happens if the loop gain is unity (magnitude = 1, phase = 0). This is the LG for the fundamental frequency, in a non-linear circuit with respective distorted waveform, you have to perform a fourier analysis to determine it.So we have to employ a external device for this?
