Oscillators

The AX7DAF1-537.6000T is a type of oscillator used in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave industry. An oscillator is an electronic circuit designed to produce a continuous waveform of a given frequency by electrical means. A wide variety of oscillator designs exist and fall into two broad categories: analog oscillators and digital oscillators. This document focuses on the AX7DAF1-537.6000T resonator oscillator, an analog oscillator.

Application Field

The AX7DAF1-537.6000T resonator oscillator is designed for use in point-to-point radios, base station transceivers, telecommunications systems, and wireless communication equipment. It provides a stable output of -89 dBc/Hz Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR).

Working Principles

An oscillator is a device that generates a periodic waveform. It works by first generating an AC signal, then feeding it back into itself to sustain the oscillations. An oscillator is typically made up of four components: an amplifier, a feedback loop, frequency control elements, and a frequency selection device. An oscillator consists of two parts: a resonator which maintains the frequency of the oscillations, and an amplifier which amplifies the signal.

The AX7DAF1-537.6000T resonator oscillator operates similarly to other analog oscillators. It consists of a resonator, amplifier, and frequency control element. The resonator is the core of the oscillator and its frequency determines the frequency of the output waveform. The amplifier is used to amplify the signal from the resonator. The frequency control element is used to adjust the frequency of the output waveform. The frequency control element is adjustable by either an external control voltage, providing a wide range of frequency control levels, or an internal voltage reference.

The output frequency of the AX7DAF1-537.6000T oscillator is extremely stable and accurate, with a frequency error of less than a few hundredths of a percent. This makes it ideal for applications that require high frequency accuracy and stability.

Conclusion

The AX7DAF1-537.6000T resonator oscillator is an analog oscillator designed for use in high frequency radio frequency and microwave communication systems. It is an ideal choice for applications that require extremely stable and accurate frequency outputs. With its adjustable frequency, low SFDR, and low cost, the AX7DAF1-537.6000T oscillator is an attractive choice for RF and microwave applications.
