Abstract
A receiver has a crystal oscillator (10) whose frequency can be adjusted in response to temperature compensation (TC) and automatic frequency control (afc) signals. The TC and afc signals are summed and applied to an op-amp (70) having a fixed gain functioning as a current to voltage converter. An output of the op-amp (70) is applied to the crystal oscillator (10). If the receiver is switched--on and--off in accordance with say a time division protocol, the output of the op-amp (70) is applied by way of a switch (72) to a storage circuit (30,C) which when the switch is open applies a bias voltage on the crystal oscillator (10) to maintain its output frequency.
