Abstract
In this decade, the number of wireless devices grow significantly, caused the frequency stability is very important. Almost all wireless devices use the quartz crystal oscillator to generate stable frequency. To get good quality of quartz crystal oscillators, then it needs to be taken carefully from designing up to how to manufacture them. In this paper, we present the characteristic of quartz crystal oscillator and the factors that affect the frequency stability of quartz crystal oscillator. Knowing these factors to design crystal oscillator is essential. The characteristic of crystal oscillator will depend on the material purity, cutting angle, dimension, surface roughness and edges, thickness, material of electrode, and cleanliness. Crystal oscillator manufacturing process is very long, starting from row material angle marking, cutting, shaping, lapping, electrode evaporation, mounting, frequency adjusting, and aging. All these process will discuss in this paper, including the testing.
