AMELIORATION OF FREQUENCY ERRORS AND/OR THEIR EFFECTS

摘要

A radio communications device comprising location finding means for determining the device's location based on satellite signals, a crystal oscillator whose output frequency acts as a controlling reference for the location finding means and processing means for intermittently correcting the crystal oscillator such that the output frequency experiences jumps. The location finding means is arranged to take account of the jumps in the determination of the device's location.
