Abstract
A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) comprises a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) having a crystal unit, a compensating voltage generator for generating a compensating voltage applied to the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, a low pass filter inserted between the compensating voltage generator and voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, and a switching element connected in parallel with the low pass filter for short-circuiting across the low pass filter. In a manufacturing process of the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, switching element is brought into a conducting state when an excitation electrode of the crystal unit is irradiated with an ion beam for adjusting the oscillation frequency.
