As we all know, crystal oscillator is known as the "heart" of electronic products. It is one of the electronic components that provide the most accurate frequency selection, frequency stabilization and clock functions. It is used in the Internet of Things, smart wear, smart medical, security, automotive electronics and other applications. It can be seen everywhere, and its market scale continues to expand, so the growth and demand for crystal oscillators have always been on an upward slope. With the current demand for high fundamental frequency applications such as 5G communications and Wi-Fi6, which are relatively popular, the demand for quartz crystal oscillators has increased rapidly. According to the current industry public opinion trends, 5G construction and consumption popularization will be further accelerated. The forecast data of 5G network equipment, fixed wireless services and 5G mobile phones by analysts shows that network equipment with a low compound annual growth rate will still reach 59.3 between 2020 and 2025. %, in the near future, there may be a situation where crystal oscillators are hard to find on the market.
　　As the epidemic gradually stabilizes, domestic industries are actively resuming work and production. The construction progress affected by the epidemic in the first half of the year will strive to complete the target of 300,000 5G base stations by the end of the year. China Lightspeed builds 5G base stations, can crystal oscillators catch up with production capacity due to the epidemic? Based on the increased data workload of 5G network equipment, the device circuit needs to use the crystal oscillator and other components to issue commands to obtain the pulse signal source to work. The crystal oscillator has become the core electronic component of 5G technology. The stability and reliability of the crystal oscillator are also required. Ordinary quartz SMD crystal oscillators will inevitably be used, but they are not enough to support 5G operation. It must be equipped with a more stable and accurate active crystal oscillator to make the 5G network work normally. Driven by the 5G market, and due to factors such as the shortage of raw materials and price increases due to the epidemic, some crystal oscillator manufacturers have issued price increases by about 10%-15%, including "hard-to-find" thermal crystal oscillators and Temperature compensated crystal oscillator and so on. At the same time, the delivery cycle of crystal oscillators is not optimistic, extending from the previous 2-3 weeks to about 5-6 weeks. It is believed that as the domestic and foreign epidemics gradually subsided, all production capacity will soon be restored.
