Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a system and method for compensating an electronic oscillator for one or more environmental parameters. A method may comprise segmenting test data received from an output signal of the oscillator and generating at least one correction voltage to thereby compensate the oscillator for one or more environmental parameters. A system may comprise at least one multi-function segmented array compensation module configured to receive one or more output signals from an oscillator and generate one or more correction voltages to thereby compensate the oscillator for environmental parameters. The system may also comprise one or more sensors and a user EFC.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- at least one multi-function segmented array compensation module comprising at least one processor configured to receive at least one output signal from an electronic oscillator wherein each output signal corresponds to an environmental parameter and wherein each multi-function segmented array compensation module is further configured to assess each output signal and generate at least one correction voltage to thereby compensate the oscillator for the associated environmental parameter;
- at least one sensor operably coupled to the oscillator to thereby assess at least one of the environmental parameters experienced by the oscillator;
- and
- a user EFC operably coupled to the oscillator, wherein the multi-function segmented array compensation module, the sensor, and the user EFC are configured so as to operate as a closed loop system.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of multi-function segmented array compensation modules wherein:
- each multi-function segmented array compensation module is configured to compensate an electronic oscillator for a particular environmental parameter which is different from the environmental parameter each other multi-function segmented array compensation module is configured to compensate for, and
- further comprises at least one processor configured to receive at least one output signal from the electronic oscillator wherein each output signal corresponds to an environmental parameter wherein each multi-function segmented array compensation module is further configured to assess each output signal and generate at least one correction voltage to thereby compensate the oscillator for the associated environmental parameter;
- a plurality of sensors operably coupled to the oscillator wherein each sensor is configured to assess a particular environmental parameter experienced by the oscillator which is different from the environmental parameter each other sensor is configured to assess;
- and
- a user EFC operably coupled to the oscillator, wherein the multi-function segmented array compensation modules, the sensors, and the user EFC are configured so as to operate as a closed loop system.
