Abstract
It has been observed that s.a.w. delay lines made on ST-cut quartz are the major source of 1/f noise in s.a.w. controlled oscillators. However, with proper treatment of the quartz surface, the 1/f noise can be significantly reduced. A modified expression for calculating the single-sideband f.m. noise power spectrum of s.a.w. oscillators is presented.
