Abstract
The invention is directed to an oscillator circuit in which a frequency-determining resonant circuit includes an inductive element, a first capacitive element and at least one second capacitive element which is connected in series with the first capacitive element. A node is provided between the first capacitive element and at least one second capacitive element. The oscillator circuit contains a damping reduction amplifier which is arranged in parallel with the frequency-determining resonant circuit. In addition, the oscillator circuit has a first tuneable capacitive element, which is connected in parallel with the first capacitive element of the resonant circuit and has a connection connected to the node.
