Can
Please refer to "Cover"
C.I.
Abbreviation for "crystal impedance," sometimes also known as "resistance."
C.I.M.
Abbreviation for "crystal impedance meter." Please refer to "Test Set"
Cold Weld
Consist of a procedure in which the base and can are dissimilar metals that are pressed together to form one metal.
Contour
Modification to one or both of the major faces of a resonator plate, where the face is altered to have a completely spherical configuration. Please also refer to "Bevel."
Coupled Mode
An unwanted mode that is energized at the same frequency as the wanted mode; thus, draining energy from the desired mode.
Cycle
A complete repetition of an event
Deviation
Amount by which a quantity differs from its nominal value. In this case, the amount by which a frequency differs from the nominal or specified frequency.
Dew Point
The temperature at which components of a gas material starts to condense into liquid.
Dip
Term used to describe a sudden increase of activity, followed by a return to the previous level of the activity of a crystal unit.
Drive Level
Amount of power dissipated by the oscillating crystal unit. Expressed in terms of mW.
