28、ange up to30MHz. These measurements allow calculation of load resonance frequency offset %R L , frequency pulling range %R L1, L2and pulling sensitivity S as described in Amendment No. 1 to IEC Publication 122-1. The method uses the change in resonance frequency from R rto R L(i.e. %R L ) which occu

29、rs when a load capacitance C Lis inserted in series with the crystal unit. The accuracy is determined mainly by the precision of the frequency measurement and the calibration of the load capacitor. Measurement of load resonance frequency R Lwith different load capacitances may be used for the determ

30、ination of C 1and L 1as defined in IEC Publication302. It should be noted that when making measurements of the load resonance frequency of a quartz crystal unit, the accuracy obtainable is a function of the crystal unit design and the value of the load capacitance, as well as the method of measureme

31、nt. Useful information of general interest can be found in IEC Publication 122-2. 2 Measuring circuit 2.1 The measuring circuit consists of a zero phase ;-network system as described in IEC Publication444-1, in which a calibrated load capacitor can be inserted between the crystal unit terminals and

32、the contact plates of the ;-network, to obtain a specific load capacitance. The load capacitors shall be removable and interchangeable, so that the measurements at resonance or at load resonance with one or more values of load capacitance can be made in the same network, without disturbing the measu

33、rement system. 2.2 An outline description of a typical design for the load capacitor and the method of insertion into the ;-network together with measurement errors is given in Appendix A. 2.3 Load capacitor specification 2.3.1 The residual inductance of the load capacitors shall be less than1 10 9H

34、. 2.3.2 The tolerance on the specified nominal value should be equal to or better than 0.1pF at a frequency up to 1 MHz. 2.3.3 The cross-talk capacitance of the load capacitors shall be less than0.05pF. This can be measured as described in Appendix A. 2.3.4 The temperature coefficient at25C shall be

35、 less than30 10 6 /C. 3 Method of measurement 3.1 Initial adjustment The calibration and initial adjustment of the zero phase ;-network system is performed in accordance with IEC Publication 444-1, Clause6. 3.2 The reference resistor used in the system (see Sub-clause3.1) is removed from the network

36、, and the crystal unit, together with the appropriate load capacitor, substituted. The load resonance frequency R Lis measured at zero phase, and the load resonance resistance R Lis calculated from the values ofV Bsand V Asas described in IEC Publication 444-1, Sub-clause6.2. The load capacitors use

37、d for these measurements shall have the specified value within the tolerances in Sub-clause 2.3.2. (Standard values are given in IECPublication 122-1, Clause5). 3.3 From these measurements it is possible to calculate the values of %R L , %R L1, L2and S as defined in IECPublication 122-1, Amendment N

38、o. 1. 3.4 The motional capacitance C 1and motional inductance L 1can also be calculated using the formulae given in Sub-clause2.3.2 of IECPublication 302.EN60444-4:1997 4 BSI 04-1999 Appendix A Recommendations regarding the use of load capacitors A1 Load capacitor design A1.1 Mechanical features Any

39、 design that meets the requirements of Sub-clause2.3 is suitable. Load capacitors designed as set out below conform to these requirements. The capacitors are made by using two capacitive elements secured around their edges by soldering to the track of the fibre glass substrate as shown in Figure A1.

40、 The capacitive elements consist of a ceramic substrate with a thin layer of base plating using a chrome-nickel-gold alloy. This assembly is then electroplated with a copper layer0.3 mm thick on each side. The final coating is of gold plating5 4m thick. The construction is illustrated in Figure A1.

41、The two sections of the load capacitor are approximately equal each having the value 2 C L , where C Lis the desired load capacitance. The capacitance value may be adjusted by erosion of the edges to meet the specified limits of the load capacitor specification given in Sub-clause2.3.2. A1.2 Inserti

42、on into -network Figure A2 illustrates how the load capacitor is inserted into the ;-network so as to interpose a capacitor between each of the network contacts and the terminals of the crystal unit. The electrical circuit arrangement when the crystal and load capacitor are in position, is shown in

43、Figure A3. Provision should be made so that the load capacitor is held in a vertical position in the ;-network. A1.3 Calibration and measurement of load capacitors A1.3.1 Calibration of the load capacitor shall be carried out at a frequency of 1 kHz using an appropriate capacitance meter allowing th

44、e measurement of one-port capacitors (with one lead of which is earthed). The procedure is as follows: A1.3.2 Measure the capacitance of the test fixture C iof the capacitance meter without the load capacitor inserted. A1.3.3 Insert the load capacitor and measure the two sections of it. The resultin

45、g capacitance values areC RAand C RB . A1.3.4 The actual value of the load capacitance C Lis calculated from the relation: A1.3.5 Cross-talk capacitance measurement The cross-talk capacitance C ccan be calculated from the measurement of the cross-talk attenuation of the load capacitor. The relation

46、between the cross-talk attenuation and the cross-talk capacitance is given by the equation: The cross-talk attenuation of the capacitor can be measured in a similar way to that described in IECPublication 444-1, Sub-clause5.1 using the following equation: where V Bo-totalis he B channel voltage meas

47、ured with the load capacitor inserted andV Bo-networkis that measured with the network only, V Bsis the voltage measured with the shorting blank inserted in place of the load capacitor.

48、the motional capacitance C 1and motional inductance L 1is given in IEC Publication 444-2. However, the ;-network in conjunction with the load capacitor described above can also be used to measure the motional capacitance C 1and inductance L 1 . A2.2 Main sources of measurement errors The main source

49、s of measuring errors are: crystal holder capacitances C AHand C BH ; residual stray capacitances; residual contact resistances; accuracy of load capacitance value calibration; accuracy of frequency and resistance measurement in the ;-network using the zero-phase method. The load capacitance inaccuracy due to calibration uncertainty and frequency dependence is shown in Figure A4. The main reason is the residual inductance L rof the load capacitor which results in a slight increase of C Lwith frequency. Th
