Abstract
A low-noise oscillator has a resonant circuit for generating a signal at a desired frequency. A linear amplifier and a limiter are electrically connected to the resonant circuit at first, second and third locations. A buffer amplifier is electrically connected to the resonant circuit at a fourth location and applies the signal generated by the resonant circuit to a load. The first, second, third and fourth locations are selected to minimize the impedance from those locations to ground at 1/f frequencies.
