A hybrid navigation satellite receiver and mobile telephone uses only two
crystal oscillators. One that operates a master clock around 27-MHz and
that consumes milliwatts of power. The other oscillator consumes only
microwatts of power and operates continuously on battery power at about
32-KHz. Only the second, low frequency oscillator is kept running during
power "off". On power "restart", a real-time-clock counter is consulted
to cause an estimate of the GPS system time to be regenerated and
supplied to the GPS-DSP to quicken its initialization. The master clock
is GPS-calibrated, and the accurate clock is used to drive NCO's for the
mobile telephone part and host CPU.
