  Crystal oscillator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quartz timing crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to tens of megahertz.
The rate of expansion and contraction of the quartz is the resonant frequency, and is determined by the cut and size of the crystal.
The output frequency of a quartz oscillator is either the fundamental resonance or a multiple of the resonance, called an overtone frequency.

 Quartz clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A quartz clock is a timepiece that uses an electronic oscillator which is made up by a quartz crystal to keep precise time.
In modern quartz clocks, the resonator is tuning fork shaped, laser-trimmed or precision lapped to vibrate at 32,768 Hz.
If a quartz wristwatch is "rated" by measuring it against an atomic clock's time broadcast, and worn on one's body to keep its temperature constant, the corrected time can easily be as accurate as 2 seconds per month, more than good enough to perform celestial navigation.

 Oscillator Technology
Quartz crystal oscillator is a timing device consisting of quartz crystal resonator and an oscillation circuit to generate an output waveform at specified frequency.
In a well-designed oscillator the frequency stability vs. temperature is determined primarily by the temperature characteristic of the crystal, and the oscillator manufacturer must select the crystal characteristics that conform to the oscillator circuit to insure that the intrinsic stability of the crystal is not degraded.
A VCXO is a quartz crystal oscillator that includes a varactor diode and associated circuitry allowing the frequency to be changed by application of a voltage across that diode.

 Quartz watches
Quartz is a crystalline mineral, silicon dioxide, that is found in abundance in the earth's crust and is the principal component of sand.
The oscillator in a grandfather clock, for instance, is a pendulum.
That's because the oscillator of a quartz watch, the little piece of quartz, is a much steadier oscillator than the balance wheel of a mechanical watch.

Of the numerous oscillator circuit types, three of the more commonly discussed ones, the Pierce, the Colpitts, and the Clapp, consist of the same circuit except that the rf ground points are at different locations, as shown in Figure 13.
The gate oscillator is a Pierce-type that uses a logic gate plus a resistor in place of the transistor in the Pierce oscillator.
The choice of oscillator circuit type depends on factors such as the desired frequency stability, input voltage and power, output power and waveform, tunability, design complexity, cost, and the crystal unit's characteristics.

Agilent oscillators with a daily aging rate specification use ovens that sufficiently buffer the oscillator from the environment.
In theory, a time system based upon a quartz oscillator or a rubidium standard of known drift rate can be kept within prescribed limits of error with infrequent adjustments through a systematic approach.
Crystal oscillator frequency is also influenced by line voltage changes (often because the instrument's power dissipation increases, which causes the temperature inside of the instrument to rise).

 Prometheus Bound [11/23/01] - TimeZone
While often despised by connoisseurs, it is the quartz oscillator which is the basis of horology today, not the pendulums and balance wheels of the past.
The heritage of piezoelectric quartz crystal timekeeping is a short one: First harnessed in 1928 by Bell Labs, clocks with quartz oscillators slowly displaced pendulum regulator clocks as the reference standard in the 1930s and 1940s.
These quartz modules are the pinnacle of performance available today, and most handily surpass their claimed accuracy specifications, but they are all still 3rd generation and no more advanced that those of the late 1970s the Oysterquartz is our living witness.

 [No title]
The oscillator has been developed for applications where it is critical to maintain comparable performance parameters of a Rubidium oscillator without the higher cost and inherent wear-out phenomena which may be a detriment to system design goals.
Two parameters where the quartz oscillator does not yet match the performance of a Rubidium oscillator, however, are aging and warm-up.
For applications where a low aging rate is essential, a primary frequency standard such as a Cesium, Loran C or GPS may be utilized to discipline the quartz oscillator and compensate for this characteristic.
