Oscillators

Oscillators are the on-board devices used in electronic circuits to create periodic, repeating, fluctuating electrical signals variant in time. Generally, oscillators are classified into three main types based on their frequencies, the low-frequency oscillators (LFOs), audio-frequency oscillators (AFOs) and radio-frequency oscillators (RFOs). Among these, the most commonly and widely used oscillator type is RFOs, especially in industrial, automotive and aerospace applications.

AX7MCF3-100.0000C is such a radio-frequency oscillator module, which provides a frequency of 100Mhz and features a low insertion loss, low phase noise and ultra-wide output sweep range. It’s widely applied in a range of electronics products and is perfect for various kinds of wireless systems such as GPS navigation systems, wireless communication systems, automobile monitoring systems and so on.

The Working Principle of AX7MCF3-100.0000C

The working principle of AX7MCF3-100.0000C is relatively simple and easy. The output signal of an oscillator is produced by the use of an active component or an LC resonant circuit; the LC circuit, nothing but a combination of inductors and capacitors, is the key structure of an oscillator element. Generally, the inductor and the capacitor can have either one or two connections. The signal needed to start the oscillations in the circuit is supplied by an active component, like a transistor. The reciprocating movement of electrons in the resonant circuit is the source of oscillations or periodic signals.

The key to make the oscillator work properly depends on properly balancing the resistance, current and inductance of the resonant circuit. In practical applications, engineers can regulate the amplitude, frequency and phase of the output signal by changing the resistance, current and phase of the circuit.

The Application of AX7MCF3-100.0000C

Widely used in drone, medical device, communication system, automobile and VCR applications, AX7MCF3-100.0000C can substitute a variety of other 100MHz oscillators. The highly stable performance and accurate frequency determine AX7MCF3-100.0000C as an ideal choice for applications requiring precise frequency control and eliminated phase noise.

All in all, the AX7MCF3-100.0000C module provides an user-friendly design solution which incorporates both the functionality of a crystal oscillators and frequency synthesizers at a relatively low cost.
