Which oscillator would you choose for a tunable radio-frequency source?

  • A.A varactor-tuned Colpitts in a loop
  • B.A Pierce crystal circuit at a fixed frequency
  • C.A three-section RC phase shift oscillator
  • D.An astable multivibrator with adjustable resistors

Answer: A

A varactor-tuned Colpitts disciplined by a phase-locked loop gives both the range and, through the loop's crystal reference, the accuracy. A Pierce alone cannot be tuned usefully far, and the RC and multivibrator types are audio-frequency circuits with poor stability. Where two specifications conflict, the usual answer is two components each supplying what the other lacks, disciplined by a loop that combines them.
