I understand how to calculate the oscillation frequency. The calculations are straightforward enough, but I don't seem to be able to find any information on how to select the component values.
I assume that certain values of inductance and capacitance are more suitable for certain frequency ranges.
The resonance equations would indicate that any value of inductance would do if you had the right capacitance, but I doubt that could be the case. I imagine you wouldn't for example attempt to produce a 50MHz signal with a one henry inductor.
My assumption is that if you don't use an appropriate amount of inductance and capacitance for the frequency you are looking to achieve that your output waveform would not be symmetrical. Is that the case or will the oscillator just not work if you use too much capacitance vs inductance or too much inductance relative to capacitance?
Anyone have any ideas where I might look for some details on this subject?
