- the__alchemist 7mo agoYea! Useful if you need precise timing under temp swings. I use them for UAS LoRa radios. Def more expensive than a normal XO!
- jacquesm 7mo agoBut cheaper than OCXO and far less power consumption too. Also (much) less stable.
- galangalalgol 7mo agoCompensating for the temperature will never be as accurate as actually controlling it (O is for ovenized). I keep reading about chip scale atomic clocks coming down in price but I've yet to see them as the oscillator in anything mass produced.
- flyinghamster 7mo agoIt's also something you want to look for if you're buying an SDR. Getting one with a TCXO will eliminate frequency drift, and the better-made SDRs will also have little or no need for frequency correction.
