Abstract
An oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) uses thermostatic regulation to stabilize the output frequency by maintaining the temperature of the quartz crystal oscillator at a fixed level. The OCXO is heated by a chip which holds the temperature of the device at a working level of between 80 and 105 °C to stabilize the output frequency. In this study, finite element analysis was used to simulate heating of the OCXO element. The heating temperature vs. time change, when heat is transferred to the quartz crystal, and the quartz crystal thermostatic time variation vs. the quartz temperature distribution, were both investigated. The results were compared by simulation of the behavior of the quartz oscillator in a nitrogen and helium environment and also under vacuum.
