So I've had to analyse this circuit by disecting it eg. isolating and analysing the feedback path. And by using MOSFET models that can be modeled ie. for the DC operating point. T 40500 40500 9 10 1 0 0 0 11 The feedback path incorporates a first order bandpass notch filter. The center frequency, Fo is set using C5. At the center frequency the pole/zero pair cancel and so the phase change is zero. The table to the right contains simulation results where C5 has been varied and the notch filter center frequency (Fo) has been determined. The relationship between C5 and Fo is approximately linear.

I think this means it's a 90 deg. phase shifter. Positive feedback is required to generate the oscillator action. (TL1 would need to be 1.5m long at 50MHz.) N 48100 46000 48100 46200 4
