Abstract

The oscillator includes a two-terminal device (1) as an active element and an impedance-matching network (4) for matching the two-terminal device to a load (A). The impedance-matching network is formed by a coupler (4) having four terminals (2, 3, 7, 8) two of which (7, 8) are terminated with impedances (5, 6) whose values are chosen depending on the output power or frequency to be adjusted or are varied as desired. Another of the terminals is connected to the active two-terminal device (1), and the fourth terminal (3) is the oscillator output.
