In a superheterodyne radio, a local oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates a frequency based on the desired channel. The output of the oscillator is the channel frequency typically added ...

The ADL5812 uses revolutionary new broadband, square wave limiting, local oscillator (LO) amplifiers to achieve an unprecedented radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of 700 MHz to 2800 MHz. Unlike ...

Side-stepping traditional laser local oscillator down-conversion techniques, Australian engineers are using acoustic interactions to retrieve frequency and phase information from Gbit/s modulated ...

The master timing control circuit for most electronic applications is a precision signal source. For digital applications, it’s an accurate clock. In RF applications, it’s a carrier source for a ...

A greatly simplified block diagram of an atomic frequency standard (also called an atomic clock) is shown in Figure 2.1. This consists of an atomic resonator, a local oscillator, and additional ...
