DIFF Subgroup
H03C 3/16

in which the active element simultaneously serves as the active element of an oscillator

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Angle modulation > by means of variable impedance > by means of a variable reactive element > simulated by circuit comprising active element with at least three electrodes, e.g. reactance-tube circuit > in which the active element simultaneously serves as the active element of an oscillator

CPC:

Angle modulation (H03C5/00, H03C7/00 take precedence) > by means of variable impedance (H03C3/30 - H03C3/38 take precedence) > by means of a variable reactive element > simulated by circuit comprising active element with at least three electrodes, e.g. reactance-tube circuit > in which the active element simultaneously serves as the active element of an oscillator

No child classifications to compare. This is a leaf node in both IPC and CPC.
