Frequency signals generated by oscillators are essential to practically all modern commercial, industrial, and military technologies. All oscillator signals contain some level of noise, but many applications require a higher than average stability and lower phase noise that may only be provided by quartz crystal oscillators. This white paper discusses measuring techniques for expressing oscillator phase noise, the benefits of using crystal oscillators for clean signals, and how to use crystal oscillators to improve sensitivity in measurement systems.
