[[Image:blocking oscillator.jpg|frame|Basis of solid-state Blocking oscillator]]

A [[blocking oscillator]] using the inductive properties of a pulse [[transformer]] to generate square waves by driving the transformer into saturation, which then cuts the transformer supply current until the transformer unloads and desaturates, which then triggers another pulse of supply current, generally using a single transistor as the switching element.
