New “Crystal Oscillator Professor” (XOProf.com) blog by former Q-Tech president will serve as a forum for engineers working in precision timing applications; Ron Stephens will be sharing his knowledge and insights gained over 50 years of experience in the design, manufacturing and application of crystal oscillator devices
Cypress, CA—April 19, 2023 —Q-Tech Corporation, a US-based leading supplier of space-qualified crystal oscillators, announces the launch of a new and informative blog titled “The Crystal Oscillator Professor” (XOProf.com). Authored by Ron Stephens, the recently retired president of Q-Tech Corporation, XOProf.com is about the nuts and bolts of time and frequency control, and especially the many particularly fascinating details of crystal oscillators. Blog posts will explore how timing systems using crystal oscillators work; explain how to use, specify and troubleshoot crystal oscillators; and will track and discuss the exciting new developments in the field.
Ron Stephens has 47 years of experience in the crystal oscillator industry and has degrees in Physics, Math and Operations Research. In his initial XOProf.com blog post, he posits the question, “Does Anybody Know What Time It Is? (Part 1).” Ron writes, “Precise time keeping is of the utmost importance in science and technology and has been since the beginning of recorded time. Yet no one really knows what time is.” (Read the rest of the post here.)
Scott Sentz, Q-Tech’s Director of Sales and Marketing, says, “Prepare to be entertained and informed by Ron Stephen’s lively prose. Ron’s insights into all things XO are bound to inspire and perhaps challenge his audience.” He adds, “XOProf.com is a living site. Comments, questions – and even opposing points of view – are welcomed.”
