Tactical Miniature Crystal Oscillator.

Abstract

This report describes the further development of a fast warmup Tactical Miniature Crystal Oscillator (TMXO). The intended use for the TMXO is as a reference frequency source in advanced tactical communications systems and in time ordered navigational systems. The present effort is a continuation by the authors of a previous study which defined particular problem areas. The TMXO is an evacuated enclosure containing a thermal insulating pedestal, a vacuum sealed hybrid microcircuit and a thermally isotropic back filled crystal unit. Both packages are supported by the pedestal. Changes in the design and performance of delivered models are described. (Author)
