QUARTZ OSCILLATOR

Quartz oscillators are often referred to as quartz crystal oscillators.

A quartz oscillator is an oscillator where the primary frequency determining element is a quartz crystal. Because of the inherent characteristics of the quartz crystal the quartz oscillator frequency may be held to extreme accuracy of frequency stability.

High Quality Quartz Oscillators
A high quality quartz oscillator should exhibit unusually high spectral purity at frequencies close to the carrier frequency permitting multiplication to millimeter-wave frequencies with excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

Symmetricom Quartz Oscillators
Symmetricom manufactures low noise quartz oscillators for high stability and precision frequencies used for instrumentation and satellite applications. Our quartz oscillators provide superior frequency spectral purity and short-term frequency stability.

Symmetricom's cost-effective quartz solutions feature multiple frequency output signals for numerous uses, such as frequency reference signals for up-converting the frequency to higher frequencies, stable frequency clocks or frequency reference signals in communications and telecommunications equipment, frequency reference signals for calibrating other instruments, and for recreating clean frequency signals in long distribution runs.
