A major reason for the wide use of crystal oscillators is their high Q factor.

The signal can be generated using a crystal oscillator.

The basic element for time generation is a quartz crystal oscillator.

In the mid-1980s, Brent came across a product type known as temperature-compensated crystal oscillators.

It also began using a crystal oscillator for more stable readings and accurate accounts of movement within the air.

Nevertheless, Nicholson is still regarded as the inventor of the crystal oscillator.

One difficulty was that there were no crystal oscillators in those days, so they had to design their own frequency generators.

Almost all digital electronic circuits now rely on this in the form of crystal oscillators.

In most applications, a crystal oscillator is common, but other resonators and frequency sources can be used.

Crystal oscillators are somewhat sensitive to radiation doses, which alter their frequency.

Cady built the first quartz crystal oscillator in 1921.

This circuit element was applied in the same manner as quartz crystal oscillators are now.

He was a pioneer in piezoelectricity, and in 1921 developed the first crystal oscillator.

The timer worked, but was not accurate enough to use as a stopwatch due to lack of a crystal oscillator.

It measures temperature by measuring the frequency of a quartz crystal oscillator.

The lattice damage influences the frequency of crystal oscillators.

The range of the microwave generator is already close to this exact frequency, as it comes from an accurate crystal oscillator.

But for those who value ultraprecise timekeeping, even temperature-regulated crystal oscillators have a problem.

One of the most common piezoelectric uses of quartz today is as a crystal oscillator.

Quartz crystal oscillators were developed for high-stability frequency references during the 1920s and 1930s.

George Washington Pierce designed and patented quartz crystal oscillators in 1923.

It too required an external crystal oscillator.

The output of the watch crystal oscillator is then converted to pulses suitable for the digital circuits.

This peak is then used to make the slight correction necessary to bring the crystal oscillator and hence the microwave field exactly on frequency.

Crystal oscillators with a frequency of 1.843200 MHz are sold specifically for this purpose.
