ABLS-9.8304MHZ-L4Q-T

Crystals

Crystals are an integral part of many electronic circuits. They are of two distinct types; quartz, for example, is a natural crystal and made from naturally occurring silicon dioxide. Crystals can be manufactured and are available in many different frequency ranges and are commonly called ‘quartz crystals’. These manufactured crystals are used in a wide variety of applications from frequency control in radios, clocks and watches to providing the output signals from some digital circuits.

ABLS-9.8304MHz-L4Q-T is an example of a quartz crystal designed to be used in electronic circuits. It is a fundamental mode, AT cut crystal, with a series transistor circuit mounted on top. It has a frequency of 9.8304MHz, a full tolerance of 0.0375%, and a load capacitance of 12.5pF.

Application Field

The ABLS-9.8304MHz-L4Q-T crystal is commonly used in radio frequency (RF), communications, avionic and other electronic circuits where precise oscillations in the range of 9.8304MHz are required. Many applications for the ABLS-9.8304MHz-L4Q-T crystal are found in the film and television production and broadcasting industry.

The crystal’s accuracy makes it well suited for applications such as frequency synthesis, radar, navigation, and sensors. As a frequency control element, it can be used in military communications, satellite relay systems and commercial wireless telecommunication networks.

Working Principle

The working principle of the ABLS-9.8304MHz-L4Q-T crystal is based on the property of quartz crystal to vibrate at a precise frequency when an alternating electric field is applied to it. The crystal is cut at 45-degrees (hence the name AT-cut crystal) and placed onto a transistor circuit. The circuit helps to amplify the vibration of the crystal and provides an input to other electronic circuitry.

The frequency of the vibration of the crystal is determined by the length of the quartz material and the orientation and angle of the cut. Changing the properties of the crystal, such as the width and length of the quartz material and the angle of the cut, all affect the frequency at which it vibrates. This allows the frequency of the quartz crystal to be changed, which is how an ABLS-9.8304MHz-L4Q-T can be manufactured with a precise and stable frequency.
