Original poster: Mddeming@xxxxxxx Hi All, Is anyone left who is: 1) Old enough to remember the Tetrode-based Van der Pol Oscillator and 2) Young enough to remember what they knew ;-)) and 3) Knows if it has any application to a VTTC? Thanks, Matt D.
I'm old enough and I'm certainly aware of who van der Pol was, but never heard of this particular circuit. Do you have a schematic or a reference to where one can be found? I can't imagine it has much to offer compared to a simple triode oscillator.
