Charted the Crystal oscillator circuit change in frequency V.S. change
in temperature deg Centigrade is 0.002739 Khz/Deg C The frequency
drifts lower with higher heat. Around 95 Deg F it hits 1000.000. The
Grid circuit has a 1Meg resistor, with Ceramic Capacitor at 6pF, with
1.8pF 12pF Air trimmer all connected in parallel across the 1000Khz
Crystal feeding the Grid and tied to ground. Note the Air trimmer
plates are about 1/3 engaged.
Is there a way to convert observed frequency change to C?pF PPM/Per Deg
C to get a ball park temperature compensation figure?
Thanks
Hutch
