    摘要: A method of rejecting spurs within a chip containing analog and digital functions, the spurs being timed by an associated clock signal derived from the output signal of a High Frequency, HF, fractional Phase Locked Loop, PLL, the method comprising: - determining original analog rejection bandwidths associated with the operation of analog functions; - identifying original spurs associated with the operation of the digital functions and capable of affecting the original analog rejection bandwidths directly or indirectly; - obtaining a final analog rejection bandwidth based on the original analog rejection bandwidths; - obtaining final spurs based on the original spurs; - determining a frequency shift of the output frequency of the HF fractional PLL adapted to reject the final spurs from the final analog rejection bandwidth; and, - controlling the HF fractional PLL to shift the output frequency of said HF fractional PLL by the frequency shift.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a programmable frequency device adapted to generate a reference clock selected from a set of distinct frequency clocks, wherein the programmable frequency device is further adapted to maintain the same temporal relationship of the triggering edges of the reference clock when switching between the distinct frequency clocks. The apparatus further comprises a phase locked loop (PLL), such as a digital PLL (DPLL), that uses the selected reference clock to establish a predetermined phase relationship between an input signal and an output signal. By maintaining substantially the same temporal relationship of the reference clock when switching between distinct frequency clocks, the continual and effective operation of the phase locked loop (PLL) is not significantly disturbed while changing the reference clock. This may be used to control the power consumption of the apparatus.

    摘要: A low power frequency synthesiser circuit (30) for a radio transceiver, the synthesiser circuit comprising:
    a digital controlled oscillator (33) configured to generate an output signal (F o ) having a frequency controlled by an input digital control word (DCW);
    a feedback loop (35-38) connected between an output and an input of the digital controlled oscillator, the feedback loop configured to provide the digital control word to the input of the digital controlled oscillator from an error derived from an input frequency control word (FCW) and the output signal; and
    a duty cycle module (32) connected to the digital controlled oscillator and the feedback loop, the duty cycle module configured to generate a plurality of control signals to periodically enable and disable the digital controlled oscillator for a set fraction of clock cycles of an input reference clock signal (RefClock).
