An oscillator including a first frequency control network having a series coupled inductance and sensor capacitor, a pair of cascaded capacitors, and an emitter follower amplifier coupled thereto. The emitter follower amplifier drives a current limiter and a feedback path, whereby the current through the emitter follower amplifier is divided between the current limiter and the feedback path in a manner establishing an oscillatory potential in the oscillator, while keeping the transistor of the emitter follower amplifier substantially out of its saturation state. |
