“…Several designs of DHR-OCXOs have been presented in literature [3], [4], [7], [8]. In [7], ring-shaped, thin-film heaters are applied on the quartz resonator, which can be packaged in an evacuated four-pin TO8 or SM case. This heater design, however, causes rather high temperature gradients because of large heat fluxes at the contact pins, as FEM calculations show.…”
