This article analyzes various frequency sources available to the design engineer, from both technical and business perspectives, with the goal of helping select the right frequency source to meet ...

In the late 1800s a German physicist named Heinrich Hertz created radio waves in the laboratory. A century later, we are still expanding upon Hertz’s discovery. Radio waves make possible all wireless ...

The frequency illusion, also called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, is a cognitive bias in which someone learns a novel word or concept—and then “suddenly” encounters it everywhere. When we learn a new ...

While high-order resonators or clock multipliers help to overcome the frequency limit problem, other limitations with quartz crystals remain. Along with the many system design and manufacturability ...
