Abstract

A quartz oscillator for quadrature modulation has a quartz oscillating circuit including a transistor, a quartz oscillator, a capacitor, and a resistor, a double-mode quartz filter, a reactance element, and an amplifier. The quartz oscillator is constituted so that an output of the quartz oscillating circuit is a first output, and its output is connected to one terminal of the double-mode quartz filter where a common electrode is grounded. The reactance element is connected in parallel between the other terminal and the ground, and a second output is obtained from a connected point via the amplifier.
