Only works with the right sim speed
This is a colpits oscillator with a slightly non standard topology. It's ideal as a VFO. I've used this style of colpits in the regenerative receiver that I posted a while back which in reality is disciplined with a resonator. Even with the ceramic resonator, the frequency can be pulled by 300khz. This is due to the inductor that I hung off the resonator.
It has a very useful stability over a relatively large frequency range. Here I've shown it running from 7.5 volts
Feel free to provide insightful insults and other comments. You are also welcome to actually discuss the circuit and its uses if you like?
Here 100 ns/s
