-Build the Peltz oscillator circuit shown in figure 3 on your solder-less breadboard. The green squares indicate where to connect the Discovery module scope channels and power supply. Be sure to only turn on the power supply after you double check your wiring.+Build the Peltz oscillator circuit shown in figure 3 on your solder-less breadboard.

 Turn on the -5V power supply. Observe the output waveform across the LC tank on scope channel 1. You can also observe the waveform seen at the emitters of Q<sub>1</sub> and Q<sub>2</sub> using scope channel 2.  Turn on the -5V power supply.

 Notice that the output signal swings positive and negative around ground (0 V). Measure the frequency of the output waveform. Measure the peak to peak amplitude R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> replaced with shorts (i.e. 0 Ω). Compare this to the peak to peak amplitude you measure with R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> in the circuit. Try other values for R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub>. Is there a practical upper limit to the values of R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> and the peak to peak amplitude? Does changing the value of R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> effect the oscillating frequency? If so why? Notice that the output signal swings positive and negative around ground (0 V).
