ATS160

The ATS160 is a type of crystal oscillator used in frequencies ranging from 6MHz to 160MHz. It is widely used in applications such as RF communications, radio receivers, satellite communications, and other high-frequency systems.

The ATS160 is composed of a quartz crystal resonator mounted on a 4-lead package. The quartz crystal resonator functions as an oscillator, generating an electrical signal of a specified frequency. The output frequency of the ATS160 is controlled by an adjustment screw on the base of the unit. This allows the user to adjust the frequency of the oscillator to match the frequency of the system being used.

The ATS160 is designed to be highly reliable and stable. It is designed to operate from -40°C to 85°C and can withstand shock, vibration, and other harsh environmental conditions. The ATS160 has excellent pullability, allowing it to keep a stable frequency over a range of operating conditions.

The working principle of the ATS160 is based on the piezoelectric effect of the quartz resonator. The quartz crystal resonator is made up of two parallel plates of quartz crystal that are separated by an insulating layer. When a voltage is applied to the plates, the quartz molecules vibrate, causing the plates to vibrate at a particular frequency. The frequency at which the quartz crystal vibrates is determined by its shape and size, as well as the type of crystal material used. The frequency of the output signal is then adjusted using the adjustment screw.

The ATS160 is a reliable and cost-effective component used to achieve optimal performance in high-frequency systems. It is a great option for applications that require a high level of stability such as radio communication, satellite communication, and digital signaling. The ATS160 can also be used in a wide range of industrial applications such as robotics, medical technology, and scientific research.
