Concept:

The frequency of oscillation of a tuned-collector oscillator is given as:

\(f=\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}\)

Calculation:

Given:

L = 30 μH and C = 300 pF

\(f=\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}\)

\(f=\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{30\times10^{-6}\times300\times10^{-12}}}\)

f = 1677kHz

Tuned-collector or Armstrong Oscillator :

It uses inductive feedback from the collector of a transistor to the base.

The LC circuit is in the collector circuit of the transistor.

The following circuit diagram shows the arrangement of a tuned base oscillator circuit:
