Crystals

A crystal is a solid having a structure based on repeating units, called unit cells. Most of the properties of a crystal are determined by its structure and composition.

402F250XXCAT Application Field and Working Principle

402F250XXCAT, also known as 402F2, is a type of crystal that is widely used in radio frequency (RF) applications. It is a temperature stabilized low-profile package with excellent thermal characteristics, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

402F2, which is manufactured using high quality and high purity raw materials, is a low-loss, low-noise crystal oscillator that offers stable frequency control over a wide range of temperatures. It is suitable for use in a variety of RF transmit and receive systems.

The working principle of the 402F250XXCAT is based on the piezoelectric effect. When an electric field is applied to a crystal, it causes a mechanical strain in the crystal lattice, which in turn causes the crystal to vibrate at a specific frequency. This frequency is determined by the crystallographic structure of the crystal and is known as the resonant frequency.

The resonant frequency of the 402F2 crystal is determined by the cut, composition, and physical properties of the crystal. This frequency can then be used to generate a high-precision signal for use in a range of RF applications.

The 402F250XXCAT is a popular choice for a range of RF applications due to its highly reliable performance and accuracy over a wide temperature range. This crystal is particularly useful for small-sized, battery-powered systems, due to its low-loss, low-noise and low-power consumption properties.
