A Colpitts-type oscillation circuit, employing a ceramic resonator vibrating in the energy trapping thickness shear slide mode is disclosed in which, an antiresonance frequency of the ceramic resonator has a negative temperature characteristic which is less step than that of its resonance frequency. Capacitance between terminals of the ceramic resonator is set so that an oscillation frequency (Fosc) of the oscillation circuit at the ordinary temperature is higher than a central frequency ((Fr+Fa)/2) of the ceramic resonator. Thus, it is possible to employ a ceramic resonator having a large bandwidth ( DELTA F), thereby improving the temperature characteristic of the oscillation frequency.
