Two oscillators in cascade with positive feedback generate two sine waves in quadrature (differing in phase by 90°). Limiting network D1-D2-R5 is used around A2 to prevent oscillator from stabilizing at saturation limit of A2. R5 is used to set output at any level above zener limits of D1-D2. Frequency is 1 kHz for values shown.-W. G. Jung, IC Op-Amp Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 371-372.   (View)

BAND_EDGE_MARKER

Published:2009/7/21 1:41:00 Author:Jessie

Series-tuned Colpitts crystal oscillator feeding 10-inch insulated-wire antenna provides sufficient signal radiation for pickup by nearby communication receiver. Used to provide band-edge marker for calibrating receiver tuning dial so receiver meets FCC rules for checking transmitter frequency when using VFO rather than crystal control for Novice transmitter in amateur bands. Crystal can be either for 40- or 80-meter band. Although band-edge frequency is convenient for warning when transmitter is going off frequency, calibration can be done with any frequency in or near band of interest. C5 is 0.25 μF.-K.

UNIVERSAL_TEST_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/21 1:38:00 Author:Jessie

Crystal is in feedback path of Pierce oscillator, between base and collector of al, with 2.5-mH RF choke in place of tuned collector circuit. Oscillator works from 400 kHz to 20 MHz, depending on crystal. Designed for fundamental crystals; third overtone types will oscillate but at fun-damental. Value of 01 is for 1 MHz and higher; increase to 330 pF for lower frequencies. An-tenna can be 20-inch wire; increasing length increases signal radiation. Can be used as signal source for receiver alignment (with either radiated or probe-coupled signal), as marker generator, or in combination with station receiver as code-practice oscillator.-D.
