Question A-003-004-009

What is the traditional way of verifying the accuracy of a crystal calibrator?

Correct Answer

Zero-beat the crystal oscillator against a standard frequency station such as WWV

By tuning a receiver to a standard frequency broadcast (like WWV) and also injecting the signal from the crystal calibrator, the calibrator can be adjusted until its harmonic produces a zero-beat (null) with the standard signal.
