Abstract
A variable frequency oscillator circuit comprising a resonator circuit part and an amplifier circuit part. The resonator circuit part has a first end and a second end, and it comprises a parallel connected inductor-capacitance pair. The amplifier circuit part comprises first and second transistors having a collector, base, and emitter. The amplifier circuit part further comprises a first impedance matching element connected between the base of the second transistor and the first end of the resonator circuit part, and a second impedance matching element connected between the base of the first transistor and the second end of the resonator circuit part. The impedance matching elements are inductors, namely the third inductor and the fourth inductor. The application of the inductors provides a noise-matched optimum source impedance for the active amplifier circuit part.
