Will LC-based oscillator be able to show performance comparable to crystals in such conditions (probably in wierd variants like LC-opamp. so that any energy loss on each stage is recovered and we are getting narrower bandwidth) Look at some of the amateur radio circuits (ARRL, RSGB, . ), especially from a few decades back, where people valued wide range tunability plus stabiity and did some very clever

things to achieve the best results they could get. Sme thing approaching a badly performed crystal, but with tunability, should be able to be achieved. Russell McMahon Mar 4 `12 at 7:10 Do the math. Look up Q of some crystals and then find what the series resistance of a inductor would have to be to match that in a L-C resonant circuit.

BarsMonster Mar 6 `12 at 17:23 If you can track down this 1941 [!] original and/or the many derivatives based on it using both "valves" and `solid state" circuits you will probably find circuits with performance about as good as you can get. One reference noted that the oscillator output was designed to be plugged into a crystal socket and when used at eg 12 MHz to provide the reference fquency for a 2 m, etre band (144-148 Mhz) transmitter, produced a signal which was zero beat stable for hours ata time when compared with a crystal controlled test unit. Zero beat stable means drift is within a few Hz at most as otherwise you hear "rumbling" as the two signals heterodyne. I don`t speak or read Croatian and gargoyle was having a bad day but I believe the circuits below are based on Seiler`s ideas. See pages 147-148 here. Translation to English (unless you read Croatian) looks worthwhile. Many other related...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
