Abstract:
A method using a phase locked loop (PLL) includes receiving a reference frequency. The method further includes generating a control signal based on the reference frequency. The method further includes adjusting an output signal based on the control signal. Adjusting the output signal includes operating a plurality of switches in response to the control signal, wherein operating the plurality of switches comprises selectively electrically connecting a first ground plane to a first floating plane, wherein the first floating plane is between the first ground plane and the signal line, and the first floating plane is a same distance from a substrate as the first ground plane.
