collipts oscillator

hi all

what are the best bjt for colpits osc. about 100 Mhz ?



does its Ft must be at least 10*100Mhz so about 1Ghz

thx all
bye

Something like BFR90 would be a good choice:

And the 10x factor is explained, to some extend, here:

Hi
I used q2n3904 for collipts osc at 27 and 100 MHz
It worked fine for both.

its Ft is about 400 MHz from simulation and lab test

Thanks

what sim s/w did u used? and does it gives the same freq. as the equ. say ?

and what about the period of the sim. how many cycle u left the sim. to work ?

I used Orcad 9. It was about four years ago
I remeber that the difference was not large and it was depending mainly on your good estimation of circuit parasitics and use of good transistor model.

?

it depends on your machine.

You should sample at least 10 times more than your frequency to get moderate accuracy. the more points you will take, the more accuracy u will get.

Simualtion time should allow u to see about 20 ~ 50 cycle. Also, the more time you could allow will refelct in your accuracy of making FFT for examoke because it counts on number of points.

That's all

Thanks
