The present work is focused on improvement of ultra stable sources of frequencies over short averaging times (typically less than one minute). To do this, two-ways of investigations were selected: - The first one deals with material capabilities of the langasite (LGS) family. A quality factor (Q) classification of LGS and langatate (LGT) materials according to their origin was confirmed. The first prototypes of bulk acoustic waves (BAW) resonators have been made in a high-Q LGT crystal. In this connection, a specific manufacturing process was developed. Oscillator electronics and thermal packaging adapted to the characteristics of these resonators have been designed. Finally, these first prototypes of oscillators have been characterized in ...
