Working Principle:
The AST3TQ-12.800MHz-2-T oscillator works by converting an input voltage to an output signal with a frequency determined by the resonance characteristics of the components used in the oscillator. In a basic three transistor oscillator, the input voltage is amplified by one transistor, and the amplified signal is then fed to the next transistor, which amplifies it further. The two amplified signals are then combined and fed to the third transistor, which oscillates the signal at a frequency determined by the combination of components used in the oscillator.

A driving transistor is also used in the oscillator to ensure that the output frequency is maintained at 12.800 MHz. The driving transistor can be used to amplify and shape the input signal so that it matches the resonant frequency of the oscillator circuit. This results in a steady output frequency of 12.800 MHz.

The oscillator is a low-power device that consumes only a few milliwatts of power and operates in a wide range of temperatures. Its wide operational range makes it suitable for applications that require high stability and reliability.
