    摘要: A method and apparatus for single port modulation of a phase locked loop frequency modulator includes a phase locked loop with a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a integer loop for multiplying up the output of the VCO which is divided by a fractional-N modulator and divider in the feedback control. The integer loop enables the use of a high frequency reference oscillator that allows a closed loop response of the phase locked loop having a bandwidth that is wider than the modulation bandwidth.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating injection-locked, frequency-multiplied output signals. In an embodiment, a circuit includes a ring of a number (N) serially connected delay-buffer elements and an injection-pulse-generation circuit. Each delay-buffer element provides a time delay (D), and at least some of them have at least one pulse-locking injection port. The injection-pulse-generation circuit is configured to transmit balanced-delay injection-pulse signals—that are generated by applying balanced-delay selection logic to a clock signal according to pulse-selection control signals—to the pulse-locking injection ports to provide, at the ring output port, an injection-locked, frequency-multiplied output signal having a frequency that equals the reciprocal of (N*D) and that bears the same proportional relationship to the frequency of the clock signal that the period of the clock signal bears to (N*D).
