Book excerpt: The need for ovenless quartz crystal oscillators having a deviation less than plus or minus 0.75 parts per million from an absolute frequency over all service conditions, including crystal aging, has been evident for modern communications systems. Knowledge derived from studies on frequecy temperature compensation techniques indicated the feasibility of developing compensated oscillators providing a reduction in both required input power and size over conventional oscillator-oven assemblies. The object of Phase I of this program was to design and fabricate seven exploratory development oscillator models employing such compensation techniques to achieve a frequency stability of less than plus or minus 0.5 ppm over the temperature range of -40C to +65C. This effort was reported in the Phase I Interim Report under this contract. After evaluation of these exploratory models, 18 advanced models were designed and fabricated under Phase II of this program with the same stability over 140C to +75C. This report covers the effort expended and the results obtained during Phase II of this program. The discussion in this report is related to (1) description and test of the Phase II oscillators, (2) design considerations in formulation of Phase II design, (3) component standardization, and (4) overall conclusions and recommendations for this program.
