  • A crystal oven is a temperature-controlled chamber used to maintain the quartz crystal in electronic crystal oscillators at a constant temperature, in order to prevent changes in the frequency due to variations in ambient temperature. An oscillator of this type is known as an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO, where "XO" is an old abbreviation for "crystal oscillator".) This type of oscillator achieves the highest frequency stability possible with a crystal. They are typically used to control the frequency of radio transmitters, cellular base stations, military communications equipment, and for precision frequency measurement.

    Beheizte Quartzhalterung
    Sog. Quartzofen, der den Schwingquartz auf eine rel. konstante Temperatur hält. Das wird erreicht durch eine thermostatgeregelte Widerstandsheizung im isolierten Gehäuse. Die Quartze können per Steckfassung für andere Sendekanäle ausgetauscht werden.

    In diesem Fall wird eine Gleichspannung von 6 oder 12V für den Betrieb der Heizung verwendet.
