Though 5G comes with many promises of a ubiquitous high-speed experience with dramatically improved performance over 4G systems, there are several necessary upgrades to underlying technology and infrastructure that are necessary to achieve those desired ends. One such area is with timing and synchronization. In order to realize the desired 5G network responsiveness for high ..

Modern transmitters and receivers leverage oscillators and frequency synthesizers to generate carrier signals, upconversion/downconversion local oscillator frequencies, aid in frequency tuning, and more. There are many different types of materials and technologies used in precision frequency generation. This post will provide a brief explanation of the different types of oscillators and frequency synthesizers common in ..
