    Abstract: A digital up-converter (DUC) includes conjugate-mixer-combiner. The conjugate-mixer-combiner includes a pre-combiner configured to generate combinations of a first in-phase (I) value to be transmitted at a first frequency of a first frequency band, a first quadrature (Q) value to be transmitted at the first frequency of a first frequency band, a second I value for to be transmitted at a second frequency of a second frequency band, and a second Q value to be transmitted at the second frequency of a second frequency band. The conjugate-mixer-combiner further includes a plurality of multipliers collectively configured to shift the combinations based on an average difference between the first frequency and the second frequency.

    Abstract: A PLL including a VCO with a variable capacitance (such as an LC VCO) including a switched capacitor bank and a varactor, the PLL providing lock range extension over temperature using dynamic capacitor bank switching to dynamically adjust varactor set point based on junction temperature. The varactor is responsive to the Vctrl control voltage to adjust a capacitance of the variable capacitance to control the phase of the PLL signal. Compensation circuitry dynamically adjusts varactor set point by dynamically switching the capacitor bank based in a junction temperature associated with the PLL circuitry, thereby extending PLL lock range over temperature.
