This document provides instructions for constructing a Colpitts oscillator circuit in MULTISIM to analyze its operation and key characteristics. Students are asked to research how a Colpitts oscillator works, calculate its equivalent capacitance, resonant frequency, feedback fraction, and minimum voltage gain for oscillation. They then need to take screenshots confirming the resonant frequency and minimum voltage gain values and include these in their write-up along with discussions and calculations.
