		Oscillators are devices that are used to generate repetitive signals.
		Oscillation is the periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure as seen, for example, in a swinging pendulum.
		For example, a quartz watch uses a quartz oscillator to keep track of what time it is. An AM radio transmitter uses an oscillator to create the carrier wave for the station, and an AM radio receiver uses a special form of oscillator called a resonator to tune in a station.

	Quartz crystals :: crystal oscillator data from International Crystal
		An oscillator is an amplifier with a feedback loop from output to input.
		Barkhausen criteria states that for oscillation to occur the product of the gains around a loop must be equal to or greater than unity and that the sum of the phase shifts around the loop must be a multiple of 360°.
		The oscillating loop C1 in parallel with R2, Ctrim in parallel with C2 and Rc and the crystal is directly tied to the load causing poor load stability.

	www.oscillatorguide.com - Hartley Oscillator
		The Hartley oscillator is an LC electronic oscillator that derives its feedback from a tapped coil in parallel with a capacitor (the tank circuit).
		The two versions of this oscillator are the series-fed and the shunt-fed. The main difference between the Armstrong and the Hartley oscillators lies in the design of the feedback (tickler) coil.
		Hartley oscillator are inductively coupled, variable frequency oscillators where the oscillator may be series or shunt fed. Hartley oscillators have the advantage of having one centre tapped inductor and one tuning capacitor.

		An oscillator is a device for producing ac power, the output frequency of which is determined by the characteristics of the device.
		There are some requirements for the harmonic oscillation, that there should be an active element producing amplification, a positive feedback should lead to negative resistance, a frequency selective network which mainly determines the oscillation frequency and a nonlinearity, which is called limiting to maintain the oscillation amplitude in stable equilibrium.
		Hartley oscillators are inductively coupled; variable frequency oscillators where the oscillator may be series or shunt fed. Hartley oscillators have the advantage of having one centre tapped inductor and one tuning capacitor.

		One can also design a Colpitts to operate at the harmonics (referred to as overtones) of a particular SAW's fundamental if higher frequencies of oscillation are required, but you should be able to locate a SAW with a fundamental anywhere from 50 MHz to a GHz or so.

		[0002] The present invention relates to a piezoelectric oscillator, for example, with crystalline quartz as a piezoelectric vibrator, and particularly relates to a Colpitts oscillator which oscillates stably by principal vibration and suppresses unwanted vibration.
		[0006] Therefore, in the oscillator, oscillation in the B mode as unwanted vibration becomes a problem, or a frequency jump in which the oscillation frequency changes from that of the C mode as the principal vibration to that of the B mode as the unwanted vibration becomes a problem.
