Oscillators are electronic devices capable of generating electric signals (waveforms) of a certain frequency and amplitude. The AX7DAF3-320.0000T oscillator is a type of oscillator that has a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the AX7DAF3-320.0000T.

Application Field

The AX7DAF3-320.0000T was developed to meet demands for precision frequency control of sophisticated electronic and electromechanical systems. It is used in applications such as:

• RF and microwave communications
• Inertial navigation systems
• Scientific instrumentation
• Metrology and calibration
• Aerospace avionics
• Power electronics

The AX7DAF3-320.0000T features a temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO) circuit that operates at temperatures from -20°C to +85°C. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including military and automotive applications. The oscillator also has a low noise floor of -130 dBc/Hz, allowing for better precision in precision frequency control applications.

Working Principle

The AX7DAF3-320.0000T oscillator functions by utilizing what is known as the “tank circuit” concept. The tank circuit consists of an inductive element (L) and a capacitive element (C) connected in series. This forms a resonant circuit with a resonant frequency determined by the combination of L and C. The oscillator is powered by a DC power source, and when the power is turned on, the tank circuit is energized. This causes an oscillation to occur in the tank circuit, which in turn causes the output voltage of the oscillator to change at the same frequency as the tank circuit.

The frequency of the oscillator can be adjusted by changing the values of either L or C. This can be achieved by using either a variable capacitor or a variable inductor, or by using a combination of both. The frequency of the oscillator can also be changed by varying the temperature of the circuit, as the resonant frequency of the tank circuit is dependent on the temperature. This makes the AX7DAF3-320.0000T TCXO an ideal choice for applications where precision frequency control is required.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the AX7DAF3-320.0000T oscillator is a versatile and reliable oscillator designed for precision frequency application. Its temperature compensated circuitry ensures accuracy and stability of the oscillator, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of environments. In addition, its adjustable frequency range and low noise floor make it an excellent choice for applications requiring precision frequency control.
