A-002-11: Quartz crystal - properties and applications

A-002-11-01: What is a crystal lattice filter?

A filter with narrow bandwidth and steep skirts made using quartz crystals

A filter with wide bandwidth and shallow skirts made using quartz crystals

An audio filter made with four quartz crystals that resonate at 1 kHz intervals

A power supply filter made with interlaced quartz crystals



A-002-11-02: What factor determines the bandwidth and response shape of a crystal lattice filter?

The relative frequencies of the individual crystals

The centre frequency chosen for the filter

The gain of the RF stage following the filter

The amplitude of the signals passing through the filter



A-002-11-03: For single-sideband phone emissions, what would be the bandwidth of a good crystal lattice filter?

2.1 kHz

15 kHz

500 Hz

6 kHz



A-002-11-04: The main advantage of a crystal oscillator over a tuned LC oscillator is:

much greater frequency stability

longer life under severe operating use

freedom from harmonic emissions

simplicity



A-002-11-05: A quartz crystal filter is superior to an LC filter for narrow bandpass applications because of the:

crystal's high Q

crystal's low Q

LC circuit's high Q

crystal's simplicity



A-002-11-06: Piezoelectricity is generated by:

deforming certain crystals

touching crystals with magnets

adding impurities to a crystal

moving a magnet near a crystal



A-002-11-07: Electrically, what does a crystal look like?

A very high Q tuned circuit

A very low Q tuned circuit

A variable capacitance

A variable tuned circuit



A-002-11-08: Crystals are sometimes used in a circuit which has an output an integral multiple of the crystal frequency. This circuit is called:

an overtone oscillator

a crystal multiplier

a crystal lattice

a crystal ladder



A-002-11-09: Which of the following properties DOES NOT apply to a crystal when used in an oscillator circuit?

High power output

Good frequency stability

Very low noise because of high Q

Good frequency accuracy



A-002-11-10: Crystal oscillators, filters and microphones depend upon which principle?

Piezoelectric effect

Hertzberg effect
