Abstract

A crystal-controlled oscillator circuit is modified by the present invention by replacing the crystal with the first signal port of a two-port SAW resonator filter that has a low-loss primarily inductive characteristic and taking the oscillation output from the other port of the filter to provide an oscillator frequency with harmonics that are reduced significantly when compared to the output of a crystal-controlled oscillator.
