  "term": "disciplined oscillator",
  "field": "Cybersecurity",
  "definition": "An oscillator whose output frequency is continuously adjusted (often through the use of a phase locked loop) to agree with an external reference. For example, a GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO) usually consists of a quartz or rubidium oscillator whose output frequency is continuously adjusted to agree with signals broadcast by the GPS satellites.",
