Abstract: A single frequency control device incorporating a high frequency resonator, a low frequency resonator and a temperature sensing element, the latter thermally coupled closely to the said resonators to facilitate temperature sensing with higher resolution and accuracy. Additional benefits offered by the structure include smaller size and lower cost.
Abstract: A temperature compensated crystal oscillator implements temperature compensation by generating and applying a temperature compensation signal via a function having a plateau region and a higher slope region, where a horizontal position of the higher slope region, a slope value in the higher slope region, and a function value change magnitude over the higher slope region are adjustable.

Abstract: The invention relates to piezoelectric resonators. An interposer element is used between a resonating plate and the resonator package to provide improved (i.e. reduced) acceleration sensitivity. The interposer element is preferably of similar thermal expansion characteristics to the resonating plate. Electrical connection to the resonating plate from the exterior of the package is preferably provided via the interposer element.
