    Oscillators have a variety of electrical and environmental parameters that can greatly impact their performance in end applications. Some differences between manufacturing test environment and application conditions can cause vast performance differences which may result in a host of system-level problems. The technical team at Esterline Research and Design have been testing oscillators in manufacturing and application environments for decades and are intimately familiar with the host of problems which can arise.  We offer a wide variety of electrical and environmental test services.  Custom tests can be defined based on application-specific needs.   Common tests performed are detailed..

Continuing with our concept that individual components necessary for building our larger test systems can often (by themselves) be useful - we give you the XO101 Crystal Oscillator Kit.Electrical engineers, EE Students and the like, often need a reference (time base) frequency to work from.  The XO101 kit includes a series of oscillators with common frequencies, ranging from 1MHz to 40MHz.  Wether you need a basic clock oscillator to complete a project, or a solid time base for reference purposes, we believe you will find this kit useful. "Sometimes you have an idea that requires a specific signal source to accurately flush it out...

As we close the books on our first year at Esterline Research & Design, I couldn't be happier.  Happier about my decision to partner with the people I did, and the direction we are going.  As the only partner of ER&D who's not an engineer, these are few personal observations I have made over the past year. Fair warning to engineers:  This is not a technical paper, and at times includes such things as humor, speculation and vagueness. 1.  Engineers are incredible multi-taskers.  It's probably about as consistently true as saying car salesmen are good talkers.Maybe it's the nature of the..
