DATE: 23 November 1964
SUBJECT: Trip Report - OS-12 with. , 25X1 A5a 1
1. Project Description:
The OS-12 is a compact, stable variable frequency oscillator.
It has a frequency range of 2 - 30 Mc, spurious output of -65 db,
and an accuracy of ?1000 cps. The output power (1.0 V across
200 ohms) is 5.0 mw and the input power at 120 (?106) is 216 mw.
The approximate size of the OS-12 is 4" x 2" x 1".

a. On schedule and expected to remain so: Yes
b. Within obligated funds and expected to remain so: Yes
c. Satisfactory technical progress: Yes
7. Project Status:
On 28 October 1964, a conference was held with the -25X1A5a1
engineers concerned with the subject project. Those present were
25X1A5a1 Messrs. who will be the full-time Senior Engineer
25X1A5a1 on the project; Advanced Research Engineer, who
will be concerned with the critical circuit design and is
considered to be working half-time on the project; 25X1A5a1
Section Head, who will be concerned with the design o the p ase
25X1A5a1 lock loop; and Engineer, who will also be doing
considerable work on the project. The biographical data for
precontractual SECRET clearances will be sent through the local
representative for those engineers concerned with the 06-12,
who have not already been cleared.
It was also noted that the switches made by the 25X1A5a1
Company seem to be quite acceptable and life tests will be
accomplished in the near future. These switches are expected
to reduce the overall size of the package approximately
1 cubic inch.
It was requested that, in their first monthly report, they
include a more detailed work schedule than was given in the
proposal. A design review is scheduled in three months from
initiation date; this will be in January 1964, and by this date
a breadboard will be in operation. It was requested by the con-
tractor that the project engineer be present. Critical design
will be primarily centered around the development of the phase
lock loop and 1 Mc standard crystal oscillator. It is certain
that the accuracy of the 1 Mc crystal standard oscillator will
be within .002%. However, it is believed that at least one-half
of the cost and a considerable portion of the final size will be
due to the standard oscillator; obviously, the design, factor here
will be size versus cost.
