Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus are described for reducing noise, such as phase noise, in an oscillating signal. The oscillating signal may be generated by a signal generator having a mechanical resonator, such as a crystal oscillator. A filter may be coupled to the output of the mechanical resonator and may have its center frequency adjusted using a phase-locked loop (PLL). A feedback signal from the filter to the signal generator may also be used.
