The title is pretty self explanatory. I need a schematic that would be easy for someone with some experience in electronics could make for an invention I have in mind. Squre sine or triangle waves are all fine as long as the have a positive and negetive cycle, (no dc pulse generators) if any body has a good link or schematic please respond.
How about a 5-MHz oscillator module such as would be used for clocking a microprocessor? Simple, cheap, and it's one component. The output is a square wave from 0 to +5V. (The power supply is 5 volts DC.)
To convert this into a wave that goes positive and negative, simply couple it through a capacitor.
What does the output go to?
a low powerr induction coil
Make sure the oscillator has enough power to drive that and that it likes this kind of inductive load.

I read in sci.electronics.design that snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com wrote (in ) about 'need a super simple 5Mhz generator schematic.', on Wed, 31 Aug 2005:
How many volts into how many ohms? Learn to specify your requirements fully. After the basic output requirements, next comes frequency accuracy and stability. Can it be 5.3 MHz, say? Does it have to stay at whatever frequency within 0.1%, 1% or 10% for short periods, or long periods?
