Hello,
Some questions on xtal oscillator phase noise. Attached the
measurement result of my series resonant xtal oscillator.
It is a class A, ibias 5 mA, Ixtal 1 mArms. Transistor selected for
low Rbb' 20 Ohm, Ft 100MHz. Reference voltage 5V from an ADR445,
filtered with 10uF folie cap. Phase noise target -130dBc at 10Hz.
1. Is series resonant better or easier to engineer than parallel
resonant?
2. Where should I have 20 dB/decade and where 30 B/decade?
3. Some suggestions for the next 25dB?
4. Is there more to learn from the attached picture?
regards,
Henk
