    BJT for the lowest phase noise XTAL oscillator

    Re the activity jumps ,a year or more back I was testing a homebuilt VHF crystal oscillator at home, doing thermal runs and noticed extreme frequency variations over a small temperature range. It was repeatable. The source of crystals I was using then, also showed some severe frequency jumps...

    BJT for the lowest phase noise XTAL oscillator

    Hi, I will outline a typical crystal specification I use. Just a note first that I am a radio technician, (to component level) by trade and I also order crystals for personal use. Sometimes I have to work out the crystal specification from measurements on an original crystal, but thats another...

    BJT for the lowest phase noise XTAL oscillator

    Thats the company. I dont know if they do SC crystals, but its worth an email. I havent had any issues, with 20 to 30 overtone crystals ordered at different times for my own use. Good reliable product, with documentation. Good communication. No problems I pay by Telegraphic transfer I am...

    Why Multiplier's spectrum noise floor raised?

    Hi, The noise on the first plot is a function of Bandwidth settings of the Spec An (470 kHz) and multiplier function (x14) and noise floor of the Oscillator/Multiplier Output. In high order multiplication, such as with SRD the level of the output can be many dB down and this deterioates the...

    BJT for the lowest phase noise XTAL oscillator

    Hi, Looking at **broken link removed** , they seem to state that the crystal should have some capacitive loading specification, to resonate on frequency. I was under the impression that the crystals were series resonant in that type of circuit, (neglecting any component in series for...

    BJT for the lowest phase noise XTAL oscillator

    Hi, In Oscillators where active devices ( eg bfr93 and others) have gain up into the multi - GHz region, there is always the possibility of unwanted oscillations/ parasitics occuring. I notice in some oscillators (only a few designs) have various extra low value resistors to reduce the...

    BJT for the lowest phase noise XTAL oscillator

    From my work on VHF crystal oscillators ( Butler two transistor oscillator-amateur radio ones), it pays to look at the possible noise sources in oscillators. I found gains were made by extra decoupling, replacing noise generating resistors by inductors, making the transistors operate in a...
