Complexity wise, on one extreme there are the quartz crystals that are inexpensive, simple, easy to design/control, and with oscillators at the other end. Oscillators incorporate a quartz crystal, few LNAs, and a varicap diode, thus providing more stable, accurate, and higher output level than simple crystals.
Oscillators, originally the luxury version of quartzes, have been in the meantime also suitable/available for cheaper/low price applications as freq generators components. An oscillator offers the complete solutions of an oscillator circuit in factory level/type quality, reliability, accuracy and reliable start up oscillation.
