The invention concerns oscillator circuits, more particularly coupling arrangements between an oscillator and an amplifier stage following the oscillator. The solution according to the invention optimizes the intensity of the coupling between the oscillator and the following amplifier stage so that the desired output level of the oscillator circuit is gained but the oscillator is loaded as little as possible. In the system according to the invention, the impedance value of the circuit element between the oscillator and the amplifier stage has been arranged to be automatically adjustable so that it is always adjusted to its smallest value, on which the desired output level of the oscillator coupling can still be gained. The coupling can, for example, be formed by means of a capacitance diode, the bias voltage of which is adjusted according to the direct voltage detected at the output level of the amplifier stage.
