Abstract
The author considers the performance of tactical BVA quartz resonators, specifically their measured frequency stability. Data are presented demonstrating the resonators´ ability to survive harsh environmental conditions. Test results suggest that an oscillator using a tactical BVA resonator could be developed that would have very high frequency stability, be relatively small, and have low mass. The tactical resonators evaluated are 10-MHz, third overtone, SC (stress-compensated) cut devices housed in HC-40 enclosures. The Q of the resonators tested was between 1.2 and 1.3 million
