a) Determine the frequency of oscillation for the oscillator in figure 3.

Assume there is negligible loading on the feedback circuit and that its Q is
greater than 10.
b) Find the frequency of oscillation if the oscillator is loaded to a point where
the Q drop to 8.

A PLL is locked onto an incoming signal with peak amplitude of 250mV and
a frequency of 10MHz at a phase angle of 30o. The 400mV peak VCO signal
is at a phase angle of 15o.
