OCXOs (oven controlled crystal oscillators), sometimes referred to as temperature stabilized crystal oscillators or just crystal ovens, possess higher frequency stability, lower phase noise and wider operating temperature range when compared with TCXOs and common crystal oscillators. In particular, this frequency control device achieves the highest frequency stability possible with a crystal, making it suitable for satellite, electronic instrument, test equipment, mobile communication, broadcasting station, aerospace industry and other fields.
Working Principle
Our OCXO is mainly composed of a control circuit and an oscillator circuit, and the control circuit is designed to control the thermally-insulated oven while the other one is used to generate oscillation frequency. During working, the oven keeps quartz crystal at a constant temperature to minimize frequency variation which is often caused by ambient temperature change, and thermistors are employed to form a differential amplifier to control the temperature. In this way, oscillation frequency is maintained at a stable level.
