An oscillator is an electronic circuit designed to create a repetitive signal, typically a sine wave or a square wave, that is used in radio communication for receivers, transmitters, and timers. It is generally made up of an Amplifier, a Source of Feedback, and an Interference Source.

The ASTMHTA-120.000MHZ-AJ-E-T3 oscillator is a cryogenically cooled crystal oscillator which can be used in many different applications. It operates at a frequency of 120.000MHz, and is designed for use in extreme environments where the temperatures range from -198°C to +500°C. It is also designed to be highly resistant to shock and vibration.

It is particularly useful in applications where extreme temperatures are a concern, since it is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -198°C to +500°C.

Working principle

The ASTMHTA-120.000MHZ-AJ-E-T3 oscillator is based on the principle of an LC oscillator, using an inductor and capacitor to generate an alternating current. This alternating current is then sent through a crystal resonator, where the frequency of the signal is determined by the natural resonance of the crystal.

The oscillator is powered by a low voltage DC power source, which is controlled by an integrated circuit. The circuit also contains components which provide the feedback needed to maintain the oscillation of the signal. This feedback ensures that the signal remains at a steady frequency, even when it is subjected to external interference or fluctuations.

The ASTMHTA-120.000MHZ-AJ-E-T3 oscillator is also designed to be highly resistant to shock and vibration. This is achieved by a special construction, in which all of the components are mounted on a rigid metal base. The metal base provides a barrier between the components and the external environment, protecting them from mechanical stresses.

The ASTMHTA-120.000MHZ-AJ-E-T3 oscillator is an extremely reliable and versatile piece of electronics, and is an ideal choice for many different applications. Its design allows it to operate reliably in very extreme temperatures, and also makes it highly resistant to shock and vibration. It is well suited for use in a wide range of applications, from military and aerospace electronics to automotive and medical electronics.
