Conversion of 1/f fluctuations in crystal resonator within an inter resonance gap.
This paper presents general relationships for transformation coefficients of BAW or SAW crystal resonator amplitude and phase fluctuations through the 1/f flicker noises of its motional and static equivalent parameters within the resonator inter resonance gap. Approximate functions of phase and amplitude power spectral densities are found based on Leeson's oscillator open loop model and are given with detailed consideration of Butler and Colpitts modes of operation with the assumption of full and zero inter noise correlation. It is also substantiated that a low-noise frequency region of crystal resonator operation exists in which the fluctuation influence of its motional inductance and capacity tend to zero in oscillators. Five examples are given as an illustration of a good agreement of the measured data with the prediction curves, giving a possibility of resonator power phase and amplitude spectral densities valuation at an arbitrary offset frequency from the carrier through the 1/f flicker noises of resonator parameters. Emphasis is laid in conclusion on the possible way of parameter spectral densities definition.
