  • Abstract
    Results are given of a theoretical and experimental investigation into two types of bridge-stabilized oscillators incorporating a thermal device for amplitude control. One circuit employs only resistances and capacitances in the frequency-determining network and consequently is useful for low-frequency operation. The other circuit uses an inductance-capacitance network which is well adapted to the higher-frequency network. Conditions for optimum stability and the variation of the stability with frequency determined experimentally are found to be in general agreement with theoretical results.
