Crystal oscillators provide stable frequency sources that the world of electronics relies upon.Oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs) are the most sophisticated and stable types ofquartz oscillators. They are used in applications such as telecommunication networks,scientific measurement and space/aerospace systems. OCXOs have a market value ofapproximately $400m with growth predicted for the next five years. IQD Frequency ProductsLimited is a leading manufacturer of quartz-based frequency devices. We have identified twoinnovations that will enable us to produce a high frequency OCXO with very low phase noise.We are aiming at a step change in performance over the existing products on the market. Thiswill be a world leading product in a highly competitive global market.Our key objectives in the project are to develop a prototype test methodology that willoptimise our manufacturing process and to produce a working prototype of a new design highfrequency OCXO with very low phase noise.

晶体振荡器提供稳定的频率源，是电子领域所依赖的。温控晶体振荡器（OCXO）是最复杂和最稳定的石英振荡器类型。它们用于电信网络、科学测量和空间/航空航天系统等应用。OCXO的市场价值约为4亿美元，预计未来五年将继续增长。IQD Frequency ProductsLimited是一家领先的石英基频率器件制造商。我们已经确定了两项创新，使我们能够生产具有极低相位噪声的高频OCXO。我们的目标是在市场上现有产品的性能上实现飞跃。我们在该项目中的主要目标是开发一种原型测试方法，优化我们的制造工艺，并生产一种新设计的具有极低相位噪声的高频OCXO的工作原型。
