ACHL-18.432MHZ-EK

Oscillators

An ACHL-18.432MHZ-EK oscillator is a specialized type of electronic component used to generate a periodic signal over a wide range of frequencies. It is most commonly used to provide a constant frequency signal timing reference for communication, navigation, or control systems and in industry or research, for testing and measurements.

Application field:

The ACHL-18.432MHZ-EK oscillator is primarily used to provide timing signals to systems that require highly accurate and dependable signal timing references, such as communication, navigation, or control systems. It is also extensively used in industrial, research, and commercial applications, such as automatic test equipment, time and frequency standards, automotive electronics, telecommunication, and harmonic generators.

Working principle:

The ACHL-18.432MHZ-EK oscillator works by converting AC power to DC power while controlling the frequency of the output signal. This is done by using a tuned circuit composed of an inductor and capacitor, which is designed to resonate at a specific frequency. As the AC power is applied to the tuned circuit, it resonates at the resonance frequency, generating the oscillating signal that is regulated and amplified.

The output frequency of the ACHL-18.432MHZ-EK oscillator is typically within plus or minus 2 ppm of the specified frequency. This is due to the fact that the tuned circuit is designed to be as stable as possible, eliminating any natural drift in the output signal. The output signal is regulated and amplified to deliver a reliable signal to the connected system.
