Self-Biased Amplitude-Controlled Oscillator With Constant Harmonic Content

摘要

Oscillators are described that have a highly stable output frequency versus the variation of supply voltage and different operating conditions such as temperature. The concepts are broadly applicable to various types of oscillators. The highly stable output is achieved with the use of self biasing loops. The circuits associated with providing constant harmonic output current can be used with the concept of a phi-null oscillator to further stabilize the output frequency.
