An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, powered by a direct current
Crystal oscillator
A 120 MHz oscillator from 1938 using a parallel rod transmission line resonator (Lecher line). Transmission lines are widely used for UHF oscillators.

A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses a piezoelectric crystal as a frequency-selective element. The oscillator frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz
Electronic oscillator
…how oscillation is produced, as well as in the characteristic type of output signal that is generated. The most-common linear oscillator in use is the crystal oscillator, in which the output frequency is controlled by a piezo-electric resonator consisting of a vibrating quartz crystal. Crystal oscillators are ubiquitous…
