New Class of Ultraprecise Quartz Oscillators Combining Lowest Noise and Minimal Allan Deviation

Operation of modern telecom, navigation, control and measurement systems requires reference frequency sources. Their performance actually determines the systems’ main characteristics. Frequency stability vs. temperature, long-term and short-term stabilities, and phase noise are the most important for many applications. Read this white paper about this topic.

Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)

Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) is a technique for geo-locating RF sources. It requires three or more remote receivers (probes) capable of detecting the signal of interest. Each probe is synchronized in time to capture corresponding I/Q data blocks. Software shifts the time signature of each I/Q data set to find the difference in the arrival time at each probe.
