I have a question, why don't we use XTAL (crystal oscillators) instead of RC tank circuit?
(lets say I don' wanna tune)
If a XTAL is used shall we get a stable and better output?
Tank circuits are used in Class C amplifiers to complete the rest of the R.F. cycle. A Class C tube or transistor may only conduct between 10 or 20% of the R.F. cycle, the tank circuit resonates so you get something resembling a sine wave out of the circuit. Tank circuits are also used for impedance matching in most transmitters, regardless of the class of operation.
