    摘要: Apparatus and methods for non-invasively monitoring an oscillation signal in an effort to provide a more reliable oscillation signal. An example oscillation circuit generally includes an oscillator configured to generate an oscillation signal, the oscillator comprising an oscillator core circuit for coupling to a resonator and configured to generate the oscillation signal to enable the resonator to resonate and an adjustable current source coupled to the oscillator core circuit and configured to control an amplitude of the oscillation signal; a first automatic gain control (AGC) circuit having an input coupled to an output of the oscillator and having an output coupled to a control input of the adjustable current source; a second AGC circuit configured to replicate the first AGC circuit; and logic having a first input coupled to the output of the first AGC circuit and having a second input coupled to an output of the second AGC circuit.

    摘要: A radio module is configured to operate within a specialized frequency band, for example a band that has recently become available for use in the public domain. Superheterodyne techniques are used by a transmitter component of the radio module to frequency shift a conventional wireless data signal (e.g., used for WiFi, LTE telecommunications, etc.) into a designated band; a receiver component of the radio module is similarly configured to receive signals transmitted on the designated band and shift back into the conventional RF band (where standard components are able to further process the received signal).
