An accurate timing source is the foundation for reliable operation in many communications, embedded, and industrial applications, whether it ensures synchronized communications or maintains the ...

One limit to the use of phased array radars is the physical size of the arrays. Their large size prevents their use in collision avoidance systems in automobiles and other platforms that could benefit ...

Abstract: Many industrial/scientific/medical (ISM) band radio frequency (RF) products use crystal oscillators to generate a reference for the phase-locked loop (PLL)-based local oscillator (LO). This ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

If you own a radio transmitter, from a $10 Baofeng handheld to a $1000 fancy all-band transceiver, setting the frequency is simply a case of dialing in where you want to go. A phase-locked-loop ...
