ABSTRACT:
A method and system for pulling a crystal frequency are provided, thereby allowing wireless stations to use less accurate crystal oscillators and dramatically reduce cost. A first frequency offset can be determined using a temperature-based method. This temperature-base method can include detecting a temperature substantially that of the crystal oscillator and then using that temperature to determine the first frequency offset. A second frequency offset using a closed loop frequency estimate-based method can also be determined. This frequency estimate-based method can include synchronizing the crystal frequency to a presumed, accurate frequency of a controlling device to determine the second frequency offset. Both the first and second frequency offsets can be used to pull the crystal frequency. A synthesizer can also be pulled to fine tune a carrier frequency derived from the crystal frequency.
