Any where a stable desired frequency is needed. Crystal Oscillators are quite accurate, they are used in computers as well as wrist watches.
They use a mechanical oscillatory force that is induced by an electric charge on a piezoelectric substance at resonance.

∙ 14y agoA crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. This frequency is commonly used to keep track of time (as in quartz wristwatches), to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters.

Why piezo crystal oscillator used?
Piezo-electric quartz crystals are used to define the frequency in a crystal-controlled oscillator. Quartz is a hard material that tends to oscillate mechanically at a high frequency (up to about 20 MHz) when maintained by the maintaining amplifier. The signal produced is far more stable and predictable than an L-C oscillator, especially when the crystal is placed in a dedicated oven with a controlled temperature.
What is the difference between crystal and local oscillator?
oscillator frequency is different.crystal working piezo electric effect
Bjt in sine wave oscillator?
it is an oscillator
What is a subcarrier oscillator?
what is sub carrier oscillator?
What is blocking oscillator?
The oscillator which is blocked by using transformer is called a blocking oscillator. Generally, the primary is given to the base and secondary is given to the collector of the transistor used in the oscillator circuit.
What was the crystals that cathodeon crystals made used for?
They were made from synthetic quartz and were used for strict control of electronic oscillator frequency. I worked there from 1980 to 1987 in the development lab Ivor G6ATJ
