Transimpedance crystal oscillator

Abstract

The transimpedance oscillator is developed in steps beginning with the bridge oscillator, through transportation of bridge elements, frequency compensation of the resonator arm, and then mechanization of the transimpedance configuration. The analytical basis for performance improvement is shown along with the results of simulations of modeled oscillator circuits and actual circuit tests. In conclusion a means to compensate for the effect of crystal shunt or clamp capacitance variation is suggested.<>
