Crystal Units: Basic Knowledge of Technical Terms

We describe the technical terms frequently used with crystal units such as the resonance frequency, equivalent circuits, and pulling sensitivity.

Basic Knowledge of Measurement Methods

Basic Knowledge of How to Measure the Oscillation Margin

Explains the oscillation margin and how to calculate (determine) it, as well as how to measure or make a quick check of the negative resistance, etc.

Basic Knowledge of How to Measure the Drive Level

Describes the drive level, explains how to calculate (determine) it, and gives an example of how to measure drive level, etc.

Basic Knowledge of How to Measure the Oscillation Frequency

Describes what an oscillation frequency is, shows how to calculate and measure the oscillating frequency (frequency counter, non-contact and spectrum analyzer, non-contact), etc.

Basic Knowledge of How to Measure the Oscillation Amplitude

Describes the oscillation amplitude, shows what is required to measure it, and presents notes on things to consider, etc.
