The above diagram shows a true series resonant oscillator circuit suitable for use up to 200 MHz

It is recommended that transistors for use in this circuit have a high DC gain (HFE) and a low base resistance (RBB). Also ensure that the transit frequency is at least ten times that of the oscillator frequency.
