[time-nuts] 10811 Osc

[Bruce Griffiths]

Since the output stage is a common emitter stage with series resistive 
feedback in the emitter, it will produce higher distortion with high 
impedance loads due the increased collector voltage swing and subsequent 
larger non linear collector base capacitance modulation combined with 
the higher collector impedance.

High impedance loads should also produce smaller output stage input 
impedance variation (and consequently greater lower pull) due to the 
Early effect and the corresponding smaller absolute variation in the 
collector impedance for a given percentage change in load impedance 
(provided of course that the corresponding greater collector base swing 
doesnt substantially increase the effective value of Early coefficient). 
However the difficulty of achieving a high impedance (greater than 1 K 
or so) load with high stability at 10MHz shouldn't be underestimated.
