The cathode by-pass capaci-tor is likewise ineffective, although there is anoptimum range for both these components intheir effect on the stability of operation. The proper explanation seems to be that therelaxation pulse from the screen circuit is fedto the LC network composed of L, Ci and Czthrough the crystal operating at near its seriesresonant frequency. A transient oscillation isexcited in the tuned circuit which, for , has a frequency of 350 kc. Thus thegrid signal consists of the resonant frequency ofthe crystal with the frequency of the tunedcircuit superimposed upon it (Fig. 2A). The CSC.
