Learn the basics of waveform generation and shaping with bipolar transistor circuits that you can build and put to work.

THE SUBJECT OF THIS ARTICLE IS waveform generation and shaping as performed by various kinds of multivibrator circuits and special-purpose oscillators. It is a continuation of last month's article on transistorized RC and LC oscillator circuits, and the astable multivibrator. Previous articles in this series have covered the basics of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and have presented a general roundup of popular BJT circuits starting with those basic transistor amplifiers: common-collector, common-emitter and common-base.
