Abstract :
THE oscillator described in this paper was designed to supply the excitation or carrier signal for a second-harmonic type of magnetic modulator. A brief discussion of the modulator will show the necessity for the unusual characteristics of the oscillator; namely, low second-harmonic distortion combined with amplitude and frequency stability.
