UHF oscillator

A single transistor minimum component oscillator generating signals in the ultra high frequency range – a few hundreds of Megahertz.

Three – dee assembly

I am assembling this to find out the limit of oscillation frequency of a transistor from my junk box. After it is completed, it shall be used as a signal source for some uhf circuits.

The frequency of the oscillator depends upon a tuned circuit – a parallel connection of an inductor and a capacitor. I shall not use a separate capacitor, depending on the capacitance of the wiring and the internal capacitance of the transistor for this function. The inductor shall be made pluggable, so that I can use successively smaller inductors until the circuit stops oscillating. The …
