Quartz, unique in its chemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, is used as a frequency control element in applications where stability of frequency is an absolute necessity. Without crystal controlled transmission, radio and television would not be possible in their present form. The quartz crystals allow the individual channels in communication systems to be spaced closer together to make better use of one of most precious resources -- wireless bandwidth. This book describes the characteristics of the art of crystal oscillator design, including how to specify and select crystal oscillators. While presenting various varieties of crystal oscillators, this resource also provides you with useful MathCad and Genesys simulations.

The object of this handbook is to assemble a set of design methods for crystal oscillators in the frequency range of 1 KC to 200 MC with the aim of facilitating design, eliminating crystal unit misapplications, and reducing design costs. The handbook is not directed at the design of ultra-stable crystal oscillators, but rather at the non-temperature controlled, medium frequency stability oscillator commonly in use in many types of communications equipment. The handbook contains discussions of: (1) The electrical characteristics of crystal units, condition of usage, and methods of measurement. (2) Characteristics of tube and transistor amplifiers. (3) Characteristics of impedance transforming networks. (4) Detailed design information on series resonance and anti-resonance oscillators. (5) Design examples together with experimental evaluation data covering most of the 1 KC to 200 MC range. (Author).

Oscillator circuits using quartz crystals as the frequency-controlling element are one the oldest basic RF circuits, dating aback the 1920s in vacuum tube designs. Today, they are more important that ever, but are now in IC form with the oscillator frequency "multiplied up" or "divided down" to synthesize a wide range of frequencies. Every RF/wireless device today controls its operating frequency with some form of a crystal oscillator circuit, and they also are the heart of clock functions used to control microprocessors and digital circuits. The book will introduce the basic concepts of crystal oscillator theory, describe their operation, and explore their various applications. Special attention will be given to environmental and operational parameters (such as keeping the crystal inside a temperature-controlled "oven" for increased frequency stability). In addition, there will be material on the use of crystal-controlled oscillators in embedded systems. *Introduces basic concepts of crystal oscillator theory. *Special attention given to environmental and operational parameters. *Includes guidelines for selecting the proper technology to accomplish the goal of the designer.

Crystal oscillators have been in use now for well over SO years-one of the first was built by W. G. Cady in 1921. Today, millions of them are made every year, covering a range of frequencies from a few Kilohertz to several hundred Mega hertz and a range of stabilities from a fraction of one percent to a few parts in ten to the thirteenth, with most of them, by far, still in the range of several tens of parts per million.Their major application has long been the stabilization of fre quencies in transmitters and receivers, and indeed, the utilization of the frequency spectrum would be in utter chaos, and the communication systems as we know them today unthinkable,'without crystal oscillators. With the need to accommodate ever increasing numbers of users in a limited spectrum space, this traditional application will continue to grow for the fore seeable future, and ever tighter tolerances will have to be met by an ever larger percentage of these devices.

Presents quantitative design techniques for a wide range of harmonic oscillators, with emphasis on crystal oscillators. Discusses both theory and practical ``cookbook'' procedures and covers oscillator frequency stability, output power, and resonator drive power. Offers algorithms that can be programmed into a relatively simple computer to obtain an oscillator design. Also reviews basic theory for circuit networks, oscillator models, and small and large signal transistor characteristics.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), specifically the RF Electronics Division of the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate, has been tasked to become the Department of Defense (DoD) center for frequency control. As part of this program, ARL and others will develop frequency oscillators to be used as system clocks in munitions and other devices. ARL has assembled a test facility to measure the effects of vibration on frequency oscillators. This report discusses the results of vibration experiments on two quartz crystal oscillators, including verification of the measurement system and experimental setup.

Electronic oscillators using an electromechanical device as a frequency reference are irreplaceable components of systems-on-chip for time-keeping, carrier frequency generation and digital clock generation. With their excellent frequency stability and very large quality factor Q, quartz crystal resonators have been the dominant solution for more than 70 years. But new possibilities are now offered by micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) resonators, that have a qualitatively identical equivalent electrical circuit. Low-Power Crystal and MEMS Oscillators concentrates on the analysis and design of the most important schemes of integrated oscillator circuits. It explains how these circuits can be optimized by best exploiting the very high Q of the resonator to achieve the minimum power consumption compatible with the requirements on frequency stability and phase noise. The author has 40 years of experience in designing very low-power, high-performance quartz oscillators for watches and other battery operated systems and has accumulated most of the material during this period. Some additional original material related to phase noise has been added. The explanations are mainly supported by analytical developments, whereas computer simulation is limited to numerical examples. The main part is dedicated to the most important Pierce circuit, with a full design procedure illustrated by examples. Symmetrical circuits that became popular for modern telecommunication systems are analyzed in a last chapter.
