Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of precision frequency sources.
- the invention relates to a temperature-controlled radiofrequency (or RF) resonator and to a corresponding RF oscillator.
- RF radiofrequency
- the invention thus has numerous applications, whether for analog applications, for example in fields requiring the generation of precision RF signals, or else for digital applications, for example in fields requiring the generation of precision clocks. .
- the frequency sources are necessary for the generation of periodic signals of any kind, both for analogue (eg for the generation of RF carriers) and digital applications (eg for the generation of clocks intended to clock digital circuits based on rockers).
- RF frequencies are based on the use of one (or more) resonant element making it possible to filter, around the resonant frequency of the resonant element in question, a periodic signal maintained within an oscillator.
- the use of such a resonant element makes it possible in particular to improve the performance in terms of phase noise of the periodic signal maintained within the oscillator via the filtering effected by the resonant element.
- the resonant frequency of such a resonant element is a function of its temperature. This is why the sources of known precision frequencies use a temperature control of the resonant element that they implement.

- a resonant element 120 configured to provide the output RF signal 120s when fed by the input RF signal 120e.
- the output RF signal 120s corresponds to the input RF signal 120th filtered around the RF resonant frequency of the resonant element 120.

- a heating element 130 configured to provide thermal energy within the enclosure 110 when the heating element 130 is supplied by the electric power signal 130ali BF.
- the heating element 130 is for example a resistance producing heat by the Joule effect when an electric current passes through it, which in this case corresponds to the electric signal 130ali.
- several heating elements are used, for example in a distributed manner inside the enclosure 110 in order to make the temperature uniform.

- the reuse of the input / output ports 220esl, 200es2 in order to propagate both an RF signal, 120e or 120s, and an LF signal, 130ali or 140mes makes it possible to minimize the number of openings present in the enclosure. 110. In this way, heat losses are reduced, which makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption linked to the heating of the enclosure 110.

- the consumption with five wires can thus be estimated at 85.5 mW in the case of a temperature variation of 145 K inside the enclosure 110, and that of the configuration with three wires at 75 mW, i.e. 12% reduction in energy consumption by moving from five input / output ports to three input / output ports.
- the same calculation performed for wires 100 ⁇ m in length gives a 33% reduction in power consumption by going from five input / output ports to three input / output ports.
- the start-up time (ie the time necessary to bring the elements of the RF resonator 200 to the desired temperature and therefore to correctly stabilize its resonant frequency on the desired frequency) is linked to the calorific mass of the RF resonator 200, and therefore to the thermal leaks among others.

- the curve 400al (Fig. 4a) illustrates the phase noise measured for a so-called reference oscillator having the same constituent elements as the oscillator 300 apart from the known RF resonator 100 which is used instead of the resonator RF 200.
- the phase noise is here also measured as a function of the frequency offset with respect to the resonant frequency of the resonator 100 and for the same temperature given inside the enclosure 110 (here 62 ° C) .
- curves 400bl and 400b2 (Fig. 4b) illustrate the phase noise measured respectively for oscillator 300 and for the reference oscillator, at 100 Hz offset from the resonant frequency of the resonator implemented in the oscillator in question, and as a function of the temperature (each of the curves 400b1 and 400b2 is normalized with respect to the value of the curve 400b2 at 28.5 ° C);
- the curves 400b3 and 400b4 (Fig. 4b) illustrate the phase noise measured respectively for the oscillator 300 and for the reference oscillator, at 1 kHz offset from the resonant frequency of the resonator used in the oscillator in question, and as a function of the temperature (each of the curves 400b3 and 400b4 is normalized with respect to the value of the curve 400b4 at 28.5 ° C);
- curves 400b5 and 400b6 (Fig. 4b) illustrate the phase noise measured respectively for oscillator 300 and for the reference oscillator, at 10 kHz offset from the resonant frequency of the resonator implemented in the oscillator in question, and as a function of the temperature (each of the curves 400b5 and 400b6 is normalized with respect to the value of the curve 400b6 at 28.5 ° C).
