Based on some requested info from respondants, here is more about the proposed Crystal Oscillator book.
The book will introduce the basic concepts of crystal oscillator theory, describe their operation, and explore their various applications. Special attention will be given to environmental and operational parameters (such as keeping the crystal inside a temperature-controlled "oven" for increased frequency stability). In addition, there will be material on the use of crystal-controlled oscillators in embedded systems.
I am not at liberty to reveal the author at this time since the book is not yet approved by our publishing commitee. But it is expected to be about 350 pages for $59.99.
