Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXOs) are a type of frequency control device used in electrical engineering. They are used to generate a stable, precise frequency signal, which is essential for many applications such as telecommunications, navigation, and instrumentation. OCXOs are designed to maintain a constant frequency over a wide range of temperatures, and are typically used in environments where temperature stability is critical. OCXOs are typically constructed using a quartz crystal, which is housed in a temperature-controlled oven. The oven maintains a constant temperature, which helps to ensure that the crystal oscillates at a consistent frequency. OCXOs are typically more expensive than other types of frequency control devices, but they offer superior performance and stability. Some companies in the OCXO market include Rakon, SiTime, Vectron International, and Bliley Technologies. Show Less Read more
