Crystal Oscillator:

A crystal oscillator is the most stable frequency oscillator.

Advantages:

  • The crystal oscillator is possible to obtain a very high precise and stable frequency of oscillators
  • It has very-low-frequency drift due to change in temperature and other parameters
  • The Q is very high
  • It has automatic amplitude control


Disadvantages:

  • These are suitable for high-frequency application
  • Crystals of low fundamental frequencies are not easily available

  • Hartley and Colpitts's oscillators are LC oscillators.
  • LC oscillators are unstable oscillators.
  • Phase shift oscillator is suitable for oscillations in AF range up to 1 kHz
  • Crystals like quartz have high-quality factors, Q (range: 10- 106). The high-quality factor will result in high-frequency stability.
