摘要: A clock circuit includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) having a control input and a first clock output. The clock circuit includes a frequency-locked loop (FLL) having an FLL input and a control output, the control output coupled to the control input. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) resonator-based oscillator has a second clock output. A multiplexer has a first multiplexer input, a second multiplexer input, a selection input, and a multiplexer output. The first multiplexer input is coupled to the first clock output. The second multiplexer input is coupled to the second clock output. The multiplexer output is coupled to the FLL input.

摘要: An example microelectromechanical structures (MEMS) switch includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The body extends from a base at the first end and has a first width. The MEMS switch further includes a bridge extending laterally from the body at the second end, and a spine extending between the bridge and the base. The spine has a second width smaller than the first width. At least one of the spine or the body includes a first material with a first thermal coefficient and a second material with a second thermal coefficient different from the first thermal coefficient.

摘要: Methods and systems for producing a low-power, low-phase noise oscillating signal using a self-injection locking oscillator. Preferred embodiments include, for example, producing, using an oscillator, a signal having a base frequency component, an Mth harmonic component and a Pth harmonic component, wherein M and P are selected integers and M>P>1; filtering said signal through one or more bandpass filters comprising at least two resonators, said filters having Q factor ≥5, said filters configured to pass said Mth and Pth harmonic components; multiplying said filtered Mth and Pth harmonic components together to produce a multiplied signal, and filtering said multiplied signal using a low pass filter to pass a difference between said filtered Mth and Pth harmonic components, said difference comprising a filtered beat frequency waveform; and injecting said filtered beat frequency waveform into said oscillator to thereby injection lock said signal to said filtered beat frequency waveform.

摘要: A reference frequency signal generator comprises a plurality of ovenized reference crystal oscillators (OCXOs) having different turn-over-temperatures, a selector logic circuit coupled to outputs of the OCXOs, a temperature sensor, and a controller coupled to an output of the temperature sensor. The selector logic circuit outputs one of the outputs of the OCXOs based on a control signal from the controller. The controller also generates control signals for the OCXOs. In some implementations, the reference frequency signal generator includes a phase-locked loop or a fractional output divider coupled to the output of the selector logic circuit and configured to receive a calibration signal from the controller.
