VCXO CRYSTAL SELECTION
Choosing a crystal with the correct characteristics is one of
the most critical steps in using a Voltage Controlled Crystal
Oscillator (VCXO). The crystal parameters affect the tuning
range and accuracy of a VCXO. Below are the key variables
and an example of using the crystal parameters to calculate
the tuning range of the VCXO.
