The detailed behavior of tunnel diode LC oscillators is calculated by three different methods and compared with experiment. We present both analytic formulas and numerical methods which give corrections to the oscillator frequency calculated using the expression 1/(LC)1/2 and show that these corrections are often not negligible. The calculations also yield rf amplitude, bias current dependence, and other details necessary for the full realization of the performance of LC oscillators as transducers of pressure, temperature, and other physical quantities.
