http://www.analog.com/media/en/training ... MT-096.pdfA well-known but poorly understood phenomenon in analog integrated circuits is RFI rectification, specifically as it occurs in op amps and in-amps. While amplifying very small signals these devices can rectify large-amplitude, out-of-band HF signals, i.e., RFI.

This is another gem I just found.Every follower is just one inductance away from being a Colpitts oscillator.

Base stopper resistors as a Q-reducer is a nice explanation. Even if an emitter follower is not an oscillator they may resonate out-of-band and rectify more efficiently.
