            Abstract : 
We suggest a modern approach in designing of a tunnel diode oscillator circuit (TDO) and present some practical aspects regarding the construction of a TDO setup to be used with a variable temperature cryostat for fast and highly sensitive magnetic susceptibility measurements.
