Abstract: A frequency calibration (FCAL) circuit and a method for calibrating an oscillation frequency of a controllable oscillator are provided. The FCAL circuit includes the controllable oscillator, a divider, a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a calibration logic. The controllable oscillator generates a controllable oscillation clock according to a calibration code. The divider divides the oscillation frequency of the controllable oscillation clock by a predetermined divisor to generate a divided clock. The TDC converts a first period between first edges of a reference clock and the divided clock into a first period code and converts a second period between second edges of the reference clock and the divided clock into a second period code. The calibration logic compares the first period code and the second period code to generate a comparison result for determining whether the first period is greater or less than the second period, and accordingly controls the calibration code.

The LO signal generation circuit generates an LO signal according to a reference clock, and includes an active oscillator that generates the reference clock. The active oscillator includes at least one active component. The RX circuit generates a processed RX signal by processing an RX input signal according to the LO signal. The calibration circuit checks a signal characteristic of the processed RX signal by detecting if a calibration tone exists within a receiver bandwidth, set a frequency calibration control output in response to the calibration tone being not found in the receiver bandwidth, and output the frequency calibration control output to the LO signal generation circuit. The LO signal generation circuit adjusts an LO frequency of the LO signal in response to the frequency calibration control output.
