PLO-10 PHASE LOCK OSCILLATOR

THEORY OF OPERATION

8-14

offset. The PLO-10 provides a mechanism for canceling out the imaginary current

effectively putting the center of the crystal back on the real axis. The true series resonant

frequency of the crystal is then the point where the conductance circle crosses the real

axis. This is the frequency at which the inductive and capacitive impedance’s in the L, R

& C branch cancel out and the crystal looks like a pure resistance of value R.
