Ambient temperature significantly influences the frequency stability of an OCXO by affecting the thermal environment surrounding the quartz crystal. While the OCXO’s oven maintains a constant crystal temperature to minimize frequency drift, external temperature fluctuations can still impact short-te... read more

This technical guide examines how Allan Deviation (ADEV) and aging rate impact the performance of low-power OCXOs in seismic monitoring systems. For earthquake detection requiring nanosecond-level timing precision, we analyze key stability metrics including short-term ADEV (
