Abstract
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...
