Abstract
We report on a new multifractal type approach of low-frequency noise i n oscillators. The time sequence is interrogated by means of a multisc ale local stability exponent which acts in a sliding filtering window, Its discontinuities are reflected into a binary coding in which the c orrelations are analyzed. The mapping of binary data into a devil's st aircase is used to emphasize the correlated and possibly deterministic origin of frequency fluctuations in quartz oscillators.
