Abstract :
We present preliminary results of an experimental study of phase modulation and amplitude modulation noise in a specific type of dual mode oven controlled crystal oscillator. Our experiments indicate some correlation between the amplitude modulated and phase modulated noise in two anharmonically resonant oscillations. No correlation was found between the PM noise in both oscillations
