摘要
By comparing the drift rate between two nominally identical resonators, each with a choice of two closely spaced modes having a different electromagnetic configuration (E mode and H mode), it was found that variation of mechanical stress in the sapphire element induced by its mounting structure was the origin of the frequency drift of UWA 6K sapphire oscillator reported in [1][2]. Discussions on the previously proposed mechanisms accounting for the oscillator residual frequency drift [1][2] and measurement results on the relative frequency drift rate between a pair of resonators with different mechanical mounting structures are presented.
