Abstract
Crystal oscillators are now available with frequency stabilities
10 11 of a few parts in 10 or 10 . One application of such stability
is in navigation systems, where geographic position may be determined
by phase -comparing a received frequency-stable signal with a local
frequency-stable signal. Errors may be introduced, however, by the
effects of static position and of motion on the frequency stability
of the oscillators employed. A testing program including static position,
swinging motion, vibration, and shock tests was devised to
determine the extent of such effects. The program is described and
the results are presented in both tabular and graphic form.
