DEFINITION

Classification: 331/182

(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein means are provided in the oscillator circuit for adjusting, controlling or regulating the amplitude of the generated oscillations and not provided for in any preceding subclass. The oscillation amplitude control means may be manually set or varied or may be controlled automatically responsive to changes in some condition, such as the amplitude of the generated oscillations.

(1) Note. Class 323, Electricity: Power Supply or Regulation Systems, is the generic place for current or voltage magnitude control systems in general wherein a single electrical source is coupled to a single electrical load and the classes listed under "SEARCH CLASS" of the class definition and "SEARCH CLASS" under specific subclasses of Class 323 should be consulted to locate art directed to other electrical art devices and systems having means to control current and voltage magnitude therein.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

15, for automatic frequency stabilized oscillators having amplitude compensation means.

40, for beat frequency oscillators with amplitude control means.

47, for plural oscillator systems where one oscillator varies the oscillation amplitude of another oscillator. 62, for oscillators with means to protect the oscillator against overload.

65+, for oscillators whose oscillation amplitude may be controlled by means responsive to some external physical condition (e.g., humidity, pressure, temperature).

75+, for oscillators combined with an active element in the output circuit thereof which element may be a wave shaper or amplitude control means.

106, for oscillators having means for periodically or repetitiously varying the oscillation amplitude.

108, for transistor oscillators having means to control or stabilize the oscillation amplitude.
