Q of the resonator
Hi, we are designing reference oscillator IC using high Q resonator. Our senior
guy said that the Q of the resonator is not necessarily the higher the better. He
actually prefers a lower Q (range 2K~3K) instead of high Q (over 10K). Sounds
counter-intuitive to me. Anybody can help me figure out why?
Thanks.
