MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES OF PIEZOELECTRIC, DIELECTRIC AND
ELECTROSTATIC OSCILLATORS –

Part 4: Short-term frequency stability test methods

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62884-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 49:
Piezoelectric, dielectric and electrostatic devices and associated materials for frequency
control, selection and detection.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
49/1277/CDV 49/1292/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

4 Short-term frequency stability
The random fluctuations of the frequency of an oscillator over short periods of time
[IEV 561-03-16]. In general, the output voltage of the oscillator is expressed by the following
equation:
vt( )=U+⋅ε t cosφ t=U+⋅ε t cos 2π⋅F⋅t+φt 
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
00  0 
where
 is the nominal output voltage;
U
0
ε (t) is the amplitude noise;
F  is the average oscillator frequency;
0
ϕ t is the phase fluctuation.
( )
For the measurement of the short-term frequency stability, the amplitude noise ε(t) is
supressed by a limiter, thus the output voltage of oscillator simplifies as follows:
jtφ( )

vt( ) U⋅cosφ (t) U⋅cos 2π⋅F⋅+t φ(t) Re(U⋅e )
0 00 0

where
Re X means the real part of the complex number X .
( )
This can be presented in a phasor diagram (see Figure 1 below).

For the measurement of short-term stability, the amplitude noise ε(t) is suppressed by a limiter,
thus the phasor diagram simplifies as shown in Figure 2.
