The resulting Microstrip layout is shown in figure 6.43, with the oscillator output at the
top, the supply voltage pad at the left and the largest element being the resonator. The
resonator is shown slightly lighter, since that is a separate element in the layout. The only
elements not shown on this layout are the power supply biasing and vias connecting the
ground pins of the MAR to the ground-plane. Figure 6.44 shows the corresponding
hardware.
