As an inductance, this circuit uses crystal. The crystal circuit consist of a large value capacitive di vider that is used between gate, a small series capacitor, ground, and source. Components valu es that we choose must produce a highest ratio between C2+C3 and C1. Usually the ratio is 5 to 10 to 1. The schematic shows the typical values. There is a little loading on the crystal. Variation s in device characteristics causes drift and the relatively high values of C2 and C3 swamp out v ariations. C1 is used to tune the frequency. A clean enough sine wave appears at the emitter of the transistor.
