Abstract
A balanced oscillator comprises a frequency selective circuit and a balanced active circuit coupled with the frequency selective circuit. The frequency selective circuit includes a short circuited quarter-wave paired line. A cost effective short circuited quarter-wave paired line can be U-shaped to take up only a small space and can be integrated easily on a dielectric, especially glass. The balanced active circuit comprises a cross coupled differential pair of transistors. The balanced oscillator can be tuned in a number of different ways.
