Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to evolve a practical approach to the temperature compensation of quartz crystal oscillators. The study will be concentrated on a nominal frequency of five megacycles, but will be generally applicable to AT cut quartz crystals of from 1 to 20 megacycles. The use of graphical analysis for TCXO design is discussed. The results of this investigation show that a graphical analysis will not be useable for very accurate compensation because of resolution and parameters that cannot be taken into account with graphs. The techniques for determining compensation networks are discussed. A new technique is described where diodes are used in conjunction with thermistor-resistor networks. The 5 x 10 to the minus 8th power, Group III, TCXO's are discussed. Results of the first compensation attempts are given. The compensation networks and techniques used are presented. (Author).
