Re: Measuring Resonant Frequency
John
A parallel resonant circuit is a low impedance off resonance and a high impedance at resonance. I would apply the AVO oscillator output across the parallel LC circuit via a 4.7k resistor, to prevent the low output impedance masking the resonant point. The scope probe should be connected across the LC circuit and you should observe a voltage maximum at resonance. The probe capacitance will affect the resonant frequency to some degree.
