U.S. Army PTTI/Frequency-Control Activities and Plans

Abstract

The primary mission of the Frequency Control and Timing Branch, ETD Laboratory, is to develop the oscillators and clocks needed by evolving Army communications, navigation, surveillance, identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) and electronic warfare (EW) systems. The main emphasis is on the development of small, low-power, high-precision quartz crystal oscillators. This paper summarizes the current (1986) in-house and contractual programs and the directions that future programs are expected to take.
