Colpitts oscillator for the UHF range


Posted on Apr 15, 2012

Simplified circuit diagram of the two-stage Colpitts oscillator. In comparison with the classical single-transistor Colpitts oscillator [1,2,5] the two-stage modification includes an extra transistor Q2 and an extra capacitor C3. We note that both transistors, Q1 and Q2 in respect of AC signals are in a common-base configuration.



Chaos in the Colpitts oscillator was first reported at the kilohertz frequencies [1]. Later the circuit was investigated in the high frequency (HF: 3 to 30 MHz) range [2,3]. Chaotic oscillations were demonstrated at the fundamental frequency f*=23 MHz
