Oscillator
An oscillator was a type of electronic circuit that produced oscillations.

In a holoprogram set in 1944 France, Katrine ordered Mademoiselle de Neuf to visit a man named Goulot in a cottage outside Sainte Claire. He had a wine cellar full of vacuum tubes, including high-frequency oscillators. Katrine was willing to pay between 300 and 500 francs to buy such an oscillator, using it to increase the range of her radio. ()

In 2370, when Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir were trapped on T'Lani III, the two tried to repair an old communications device to call for help. Bashir was able to retune the device's RF (radio frequency) oscillator, though the frequency still fluctuated. ()

When Kovin was accused of having violated Seven of Nine in 2374, he claimed that a rifle's power cell had overloaded due to a faulty oscillator adjustment. ()
