Evaluation of Acceleration-Induced Phase Noise in Surface Acoustic Wave Devices

Abstract

Stable local oscillators based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators have been proposed for future use in Army electronic systems designed for airborne and vehicular applications. The vibration spectra of these systems in conjunction with the vibration sensitivity of the SAW resonators leads to a degradation in oscillator phase noise, which may then exceed the total allowable system phase noise. This report details a study of the vibration-induced phase noise in a group of SAW oscillators developed for a low-noise radar application. (r.h.)
