Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un oscillateur à quartz permettant de produire un signal d'oscillateur ayant une fréquence déterminée, un circuit à résistance négative dépendante de la fréquence (FDNR) présentant une résistance négative inversement proportionnelle au carré de la fréquence étant reliée à un quartz d'oscillateur (Q). Par conséquent, la attention aux bornes du quartz (Q) approche l'intégrale de temps de courant fourni par un moyen de commande d'amplitude (10) et l'intention d'entrée du moyen de commande d'amplitude (10) approche l'intégrale de temps de courant traversant le quartz (Q). En conséquence de ce comportement intégrationnel du circuit à résistance négative dépendante de la fréquence (FDNR), on peut s'affranchir de condensateurs précis et d'autres composants réactifs précis. On peut ainsi obtenir une grande précision sans ajustage. A titre d'exemple, le circuit à résistance négative dépendante de la fréquence peut comporter un premier circuit intégrateur dont la sortie est raccordée au quartz d'oscillateur (Q), un second circuit intégrateur dont l'entrée est raccordée au quartz (Q), et un circuit amplificateur servant à commander l'amplitude.
