Embodiment Construction

[0037] Certain embodiments are disclosed herein that include a reference crystal oscillator system. In some implementations, a single crystal oscillator is used throughout the system, where the single crystal oscillator 102 ( figure 2 ) are intended for use in stand-alone GPS systems or other stand-alone frequency-sensitive systems. In other embodiments, the co-integrated cellular system 101 and GPS system 108 share the single crystal oscillator 102 ( figure 2 ).

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the single crystal oscillator 102 is not a compensated (eg, non-TCXO, Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator - VCTCXO, nor a Digital Controlled Crystal Oscillator (DCXO)) type crystal oscillator per se. For example, in one embodiment, the crystal oscillator 102 includes an uncompensated crystal resonator and an external temperature sensor (eg, a thermistor) 105 or a co-integrated (thermistor-based) thermally sensing uncompensated crystal oscillator tor (...

Abstract

One embodiment of communication system comprises a crystal oscillator configured to output a reference clock; cellular radio frequency (RF) and baseband phase locked loops configured to receive the reference clock within a cellular module and compensate for calculated frequency errors between a received cellular downlink signal and a cellular local oscillator signal during operation of the cellular module; global positioning system (GPS) frequency compensation circuitry configured to receive the reference clock within a GPS module and compensate for calculated frequency errors during operation of the GPS module; and a temperature sensing circuit which includes a plurality of sensing resistors and is configured to output a signal corresponding to a temperature of a reference crystal which is translated to a frequency deviation, wherein the (GPS) frequency compensation circuitry is configured to offset the frequency deviation and output a temperate compensated signal to meet GPS clock frequency requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to reference crystal oscillators for co-integrated communication systems and stand-alone systems. Background technique [0002] In recent years, cellular communication solutions have been converted to lower cost uncompensated quartz piezoelectric crystal solutions. However, due to the stringent maximum frequency transition speed and maximum frequency step change requirements of the GPS system, these low-cost (crystalline) cellular solutions cannot inherently translate into a cellular and Global Positioning System (GPS) system within a single mobile platform A low-cost (uncompensated) crystal solution that is common and shared. In prior art implementations, the stringent maximum frequency slew speed and maximum frequency step change requirements of the GPS system typically necessitated the inclusion of a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (also known as a TCXO) for use as the reference oscillator for the...
