Working Principle

AV-16.000MAGE-T crystals are made from a substrate material with an interdigital transducer pattern that is used to generate the surface acoustic waves (SAW). The substrate material is usually quartz but in some cases can also be piezoelectric ceramics. When a voltage is applied to the transducer, the SAW is created on the substrate. As the SAW propagates, it creates reflections at some points along the surface, depending on the thickness and physical characteristics such as height, width, and shape of the transducer electrodes. The reflections create a standing wave that has a resonance frequency that is determined by the characteristics of the transducer and the physical characteristics of the substrate.

The frequency stability of an AV-16.000MAGE-T is determined by its chip design, substrate characteristics, and fabrication processes. It is very durable and is designed for long-term use in harsh environments. Its low power consumption makes it ideal for use in portable and battery-powered devices.

Conclusion

AV-16.000MAGE-T is a type of SAW crystal that is used for clock oscillators and filters, and is found in many applications ranging from military communication to GPS and meteorology satellite systems. It offers the advantages of frequency stability, low power consumption, and low cost. The frequency stability is determined by its chip design, fabrication processes, and substrate characteristics, making it ideal for long-term use in demanding conditions.
