Modern RF designs are moving beyond traditional quartz crystal oscillator solutions. The industry is shifting towards digital compensation techniques, and now developers are presented with a new range of considerations when selecting ideal timing solutions. From material properties to integration capabilities, high-performance timing systems are increasingly being characterized more by performance parameters than legacy terminology. To maintain a competitive edge, standards organizations and manufacturers must address the evolution head-on to leverage the advantages of modern architectures. What is an Oscillator? At its core, an oscillator is a closed-loop system designed to convert DC power into a periodic AC signal of…
