  • Method for automatically compensating for accuracy degradation of a reference oscillator
    Patent number: 5552749
    Abstract: A method for automatically compensating for accuracy degradation of the reference oscillator (170) is provided for a communication device (100). The communication device (100) is programmed with a first frequency value to detect a target carrier signal (310), and is reprogrammed with a second frequency value that is offset from the first frequency value by a particular offset factor, when the target carrier signal is not detected (320, 410). An available carrier signal is subsequently detected and its relative location information determined (420, 430, 440). The communication device is automatically adjusted to detect the target carrier signal using information derived from the relative location information and the particular offset factor (450, 460, 470, 480).
