==== Function ====
This generator provides a pure sine signal with very little drift and phase noise. It sacrifices flexibility for stability, compactness and simplicity.
==== Options and Alternatives ====
The generator can be used with any square wave oscillator from the series [[https://www.buerklin.com/datenblaetter/D108150_TD(1).pdf?ch=2672|AQO 7050]] by [[http://www.auris-gmbh.de|Auris]]. Refer to the [[https://www.buerklin.com/de/katalog/SMD-Quarzoszillatoren-CMOS-TTL-kompatibel-Typ-Auris-AQO7050-D633000.html|Bürklin catalogue]] for a list of available frequencies.
The resistors and inductors of the filter have to be adapted to the specific operation frequency. Refer to table {{ref>filtervalues}} for values known to work. The [[http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/lcfilter/|filter design tool]] hosted at the university of York, UK is recommended to determine reasonable values from scratch.
Filter values known to work for specific frequencies
^ Freq. ^ R3 ^ L3 ^ C14 ^ L4 ^ C16 ^ R4 ^ type ^
| 16.9 MHz | 50 Ω | 1.5μH | 150 pF | 2.2 μH | 100 pF | 300 Ω | chebychev |
==== Performance ====
A generator configured for 20.00 MHz was characterized:
* frequency drift integrated over a few minutes is less than $1\times 10^{-8}$.
* frequency drift integrated over approximately one second is less than $1\times 10^{-9}$.
* according to the manufacturer the jitter of the oscillator is below 1 ps.
==== Timeline ====
* The project was started in July 2015
* The first prototype was operational in August 2015
==== Status ====
About ten devices are in use at Mg.
==== Developer ====
Nandan Jha
==== User ====
Mg
==== Principle of Operation ====
An integrated quartz oscillator provides a stable square wave signal. A passive four pole LC filter removes the higher harmonics to render a near perfect sine waveform. An amplifier is used on output to increase the amplitude and the ability to drive low impedance loads.

==== Enclosing ====
[[http://www.hammondmfg.com/pdf/1590LB.pdf|Hammond 1590LLBK]]
Mounting holes of the generator and connectors are compatible with the design of the photodiode amplifier [[eigenbau:photodiode:photodiodenverstaerker_20_mhz:start|PD-ac-dc]].
==== Test ====
The oscillator should oscillate right out of the box.

==== Todo ====
(Icons: :no:: nope, :Ok:: in the works, :ok:: done in the schematic, not yet in layout, :OK:: done)
- Add a 1 nF capacitor in parallel to R5. This helps get rid of offset voltages (WTF?)
- Use AD817 op-amp due to its fast slew rate. C19 and C21 are not needed for this op-amp.
- Opamps aree borderline fast enough --> Better use MMICs in the next version. E.g. ERA-8, or similar.
- A polygon on top is not connected to ground.
- Ground should be done more properly
- Diode D3 is drawn in the wrong direction in the layout
