416F27012CAT Application Field and Working Principle

The 416F27012CAT crystal is a temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO) and is used to improve the accuracy of the reference frequency source, particularly in high frequency applications. The TCXO offers very low frequency jitter and drift, making it an ideal choice for many communications, broadcast and security systems. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of 416F27012CAT.

416F27012CAT Application Field

The 416F27012CAT crystal can be used in applications such as:

• Communications Systems
• DTV/HDTV Tuners
• GPS Receivers
• WiFi/3G/4G/LTE Systems
• Networking
• Broadcast Systems
• Satellite Communications
• Security Systems
• Test Equipment

These applications require a high level of accuracy and stability for the system, and the 416F27012CAT crystal provides this level of accuracy and stability in these systems with its very low frequency jitter and drift.

Working Principle

The crystal consists of a quartz crystal resonator that is electromechanically coupled with a pair of electrodes. A DC voltage is applied to the electrodes to create an electric field which causes a mechanical force to be applied to the quartz crystal. This force causes the crystal to vibrate at its natural frequency.

The frequency of the vibration is then amplified and conditioned to create an oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit produces a stable, fixed frequency output which can then be used as a reference frequency source for the system.

The 416F27012CAT crystal has a high degree of accuracy and stability, providing a very low frequency jitter and drift, making it an ideal choice for many communications, broadcast, and security systems.
