Abstract

An MOS-technology oscillator device comprises a self-controlled oscillator stage provided with oscillator means, cross-coupled gate means, and output means. Furthermore it comprises a mixer device with a first stage and a second stage that have respective separate sets of signal inputs for connecting to the output means of said oscillator device, and which also has mixer signal output facilities. In particular, the oscillator stage output connects through current reuse paths of the first stage.
