    Abstract: Method, systems, and circuitries are provided for generating an output signal with reduced spurs by dithering. A method to generate an output signal having a desired frequency based on a reference signal having a reference frequency includes receiving a desired phase shift between a next cycle of the output signal with respect to a next cycle of the reference signal. A mapping between respective code words and phase shifts is read. A first codeword mapped to a first phase shift that is lower in value to the desired phase shift is identified. A second codeword mapped to a second phase shift that is higher in value to the desired phase shift is identified. The method includes selecting either the first codeword or the second codeword and generating the output signal based on the selected codeword.

    Abstract: A system for determining a correction for an output value of a time-to-digital converter within a phase-locked loop is provided. The output value relates to a time difference between an input signal and a reference signal supplied to the time-to-digital converter. The system includes a digitally-controlled oscillator configured to generate a first signal independently from the output signal. The first signal has a first frequency different from an integer multiple of a reference frequency of the reference signal. The system further includes a frequency divider configured to generate the input signal for the time-to-digital converter based on the first signal. The input signal has a second frequency being a fraction of the first frequency. Further, the system includes a processing unit configured to calculate the correction using a distribution of output values of multiple time differences.

    Abstract: A phase locked loop includes a feedforward path receiving a reference signal having a reference frequency and outputting an output signal having an output frequency that is a function of the reference signal and a feedback signal. The phase locked loop further includes a feedback path having a divider circuit associated therewith that is configured to receive the output signal and generate the feedback signal having a reduced frequency based on a divide value of the divider circuit. The feedback signal is supplied to the feedforward path. The phase locked loop also includes a modulator circuit configured to receive modulation data and provide a divider control signal to the divider circuit to control the divide value thereof, and a phase tracker circuit configured to determine an amount of phase drift from an initial phase value of the output signal due to an interruption in a locked state of the phase locked loop.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for synchronizing a Digital Frequency Shift (DFS) for a signal to be transmitted over a wireless channel are disclosed. For example, the method, by a synchronizer, transmits a DFS trigger to a Digital Front End (DFE) processor and a Local Oscillator (LO) trigger to an LO in a synchronous manner, the method, by the DFE processor, applies a DFS on received data in response to receiving the DFS trigger, the method, by the LO, applies a complementary shift on a carrier signal in response to receiving the LO trigger, the method, by the upconverter, digital-to-analog converts and radio frequency modulates the digital frequency-shifted received data and the complementary-shifted carrier signal. In another example, the method, by the synchronizer, transmits a phase error to a phase error corrector that performs a phase error correction.
