Oscillator Working Principle
The working principle of the MXO45-2C-20M4800 oscillator is based on the oscillation of a quartz crystal. A quartz crystal acts as a piezoelectric device, meaning it can generate an electric charge in response to an applied mechanical stress. When the MXO45-2C-20M4800 oscillator is subjected to an electric current, it generates vibrations in the crystal at a fixed frequency.
The crystal is connected to an amplifier, which amplifies the vibrations and sends the output signal back to the crystal. This creates a feedback loop, which oscillates at a specific frequency and generates a periodic output signal. The output signal is then passed through a filter to remove any unwanted artifacts.
The frequency of the oscillator can be adjusted by varying the parameters of the amplifier and the filter. This allows the oscillator to generate an output signal at any frequency within its range. The accuracy of the oscillator is further enhanced by using a temperature-compensated crystal.
Conclusion
The MXO45-2C-20M4800 Oscillator is a precision frequency source used in a wide range of RF, test and instrumentation applications. Its working principle is based on the oscillation of a quartz crystal, which is amplified and filtered to generate an accurate, periodic output signal.
The oscillator can be adjusted to generate any frequency within its range, and its frequency accuracy is maintained over an extended temperature range. It is a rugged, reliable oscillator, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
