Abstract

Examples of increasing yield and operating temperature range of transmitters are disclosed. In one example, a transmitter has an a thin-film bulk acoustic (FBAR) resonator. The transmitter may be a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitter. In this example, the FBAR-based BLE transmitter does not require or have a phase locked loop, and does not require or have a crystal reference. The FBAR-based BLE transmitter may have an oscillator with a split capacitor array. The oscillator may be a Pierce oscillator with a split capacitor array. The FBAR-based transmitter and calibration methods described herein provide a greater yield and wider operating range than prior transmitters.
