[cellular automaton] In a cellular automaton, an oscillator is a pattern that returns to its original state, in the same orientation and position, after a finite number of generations. Thus the evolution of such a pattern repeats itself indefinitely. Depending on context, the term may also include spaceships as well. The smallest number of ...

[technical analysis] An oscillator is a technical analysis indicator that varies over time within a band (above and below a center line, or between set levels). Oscillators are used to discover short-term overbought or oversold conditions. Common oscillators are MACD, ROC, RSI, CCI. ...

An electronic sound source. In an analog synthesizer, oscillators typically produce regularly repeating fluctuations in voltage; that is, they oscillate. In a digital synth, an oscillator more typically plays back a complex waveform by reading the numbers in a wavetable.

An oscillator is a technical testing instrument in the form of an electronic circuit. It generates and transforms energy (in the form of a repeating signal) from a current source to an electric output. The two major types of oscillators, harmonic and relaxation oscillators, work in opposite ways. Harmonic (also referred to as linear) oscillators ge...
