MEMs Quartz Resonators for Frequency and Timing Applications

Micro-scale resonators are used as the active component in oscillators for frequency and timing applications.  Resonators driven in a non-linear regime have the potential to reduce phase noise under oscillating conditions.  Quartz is known to be a highly stable material used for timing applications, but it can exhibit drive level dependency under high drive levels.  Under DARPA’s DEFYS Program (Dynamics Enabled Frequency Sources), HRL lead a team of researchers to develop low phase noise oscillators based on HRL’s quartz resonator technology.  In this presentation we will discuss HRL’s quartz resonator technology and its role in the DARPA DEFYS Program (2011 – 2015).
