Oscillators

Oscillators are circuits which generate a sine wave, a triangular wave or some other waveform at a certain frequency. Oscillator circuits are essential for radio circuitry and control. The driving power for oscillation comes from within the circuit itself without the need for any external signal.

Application fields

TB-36.000MCD-T is a type of digital delay line based on quartz crystal. It has a wide range of applications on Military and aerospace, instrument, navigation and communication equipment, wireless radio. It is mainly used as frequency stability components with long life and high reliability.

Working principle

TB-36.000MCD-T is based on quartz crystal. Quartz crystal has the property to vibrate when an electrical signal is applied. The vibrations are frequency specific and this frequency is stable due to the atomic structure of the quartz. Thus by tuning the frequency of the electrical signal to that of the quartz one can initiate oscillation. With some tuning, this can be applied to generate almost any kind of waveform.

The TB-36.000MCD-T has an oscillator that makes use of quartz crystal controlled by a switching mechanism. The arrangement is such that the feedback path of the crystal is selectively cut off at certain intervals. This leads to the generation of a digital output square wave with a frequency of the oscillator. This digital output signal can then be used as an input to logic circuitry for further applications.

TB-36.000MCD-T is an ideal tool of timing reference as its output frequency is extremely precise and stable. Moreover, the wide frequency range of the oscillator allows it to cover a wide variety of Military and aerospace applications.

Conclusion

The TB-36.000MCD-T is a type of digital delay line based on quartz crystal that is mainly used for frequency stability components with long life and high reliability. It is ideally suited for a wide range of Military and aerospace applications due to its precision and frequency flexibility. The oscillator mechanism is based on the property of quartz crystal to vibrate when an electrical signal is applied and the frequency of the signal is tuned to that of the quartz for initiating oscillation.
