[!TLDR]

RC phase-shift oscillator = inverting op-amp amplifier + three cascaded RC sections in the feedback path.

The RC phase-shift oscillator uses an op-amp connected as an inverting amplifier, which supplies a 180∘180^\circ phase shift and a gain of Rf/Ri=29R_f/R_i = 29. Its feedback network is three identical RC sections (each a series capacitor CC and a shunt resistor RR) cascaded from the amplifier output back to the inverting input. At the oscillation frequency this network adds the remaining 180∘180^\circ (60∘60^\circ per section), making the total loop shift 360∘360^\circ, and its 1/291/29 …
