Hi all, I have a question regarding crystall oscillator operating at parallel resonance. At parallel resonance, the impedance offered by series resonant ckt within crystal oscillator is inductive. This inductive reactance is cancelled by the capacitive reactance offered by parallel capacitance in the crystall oscillator and the load capacitance. So there should not be any phase in the circuit since the reactances get cancelled. However a lot of articles say load capacitance provide a phase shift of 180 in order to oscillate in closed loop. Since the load capacitance is included in the parallel resonance to cancel inductive reactance, how can it contribute 180 degress phase shift.
