402F26011CDT Application Field and Working Principle

402F26011CDT (402F26011CDT) is a piezoelectric crystal oscillator (OCXO) technology, which combines a high performance, low temperature drift temperature compensated crystal oscillator and a precise, temperature independent frequency reference sourced from an ovenized crystal oscillator. The OCXO maintains a precise frequency reference even in extreme environmental conditions, enabling the precise frequency generation. The 402F26011CDT is suitable for applications in instrumentation and medical electronics where very precise frequency control is critical.

Application Fields

The 402F26011CDT is a versatile frequency control solution and is used in a variety of industries, including medical electronics, instrumentation, aerospace and communications. It is especially popular in medical electronics due to its precision, stability and low temperature drift. It can also be used to perform precise time-keeping functions, such as frequency synthesizers, and is commonly used in Aerospace applications, such as spacecraft navigation and measurements.

Working Principle

The 402F26011CDT uses a quartz crystal as the frequency reference. The quartz crystal consists of two plates of quartz, with electrodes on each plate, which vibrate at a precise frequency when a voltage is applied. The voltage applied to the crystal is then converted into a precise digital frequency. The frequency of the crystal is determined by the thickness of the quartz and the applied electrical field. The frequency of the crystal can be changed by changing the applied voltage or by changing the crystal itself. The quartz crystal also has very low temperature drift, meaning that it can maintain a very precise frequency even when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Additionally, the OCXO has an ovenized crystal oscillator, which provides a very precise, temperature independent frequency reference. This is vital to ensure that the frequency is not affected by changes in the environment. The combination of the quartz crystal and the ovenized crystal oscillator provides a very stable frequency reference, which is necessary for precision frequency control. The 402F26011CDT can also be programmed to perform multiple frequency sweeps, allowing for precise frequency control in instrumentation, medical electronics and aerospace applications.

Conclusion

The 402F26011CDT is a versatile frequency control solution which can be used in a variety of industries. It combines a quartz crystal, which provides a very precise frequency reference, with an ovenized crystal oscillator, which provides a temperature independent frequency reference. This combination allows for precise frequency control, even in extreme environmental conditions, making it ideal for medical electronics and aerospace applications.
