Abstract
An oscillator includes dual resonators mounted in a helium filled coldweld holder. One resonator operates at anti-resonance into a load capacitance of about 20 picofarads, and operates on a third overtone frequency under noncontrolled temperature conditions. The other resonator operates on a fundamental mode at anti-resonance in a load capacitance of about 32 picofarads. Resonator crystals in a dual-crystal resonator may include a theta-angle shift to equalize frequency versus temperature curves at temperature extremes.
