    Abstract: One feature pertains to a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that comprises a variable capacitor and noise reduction circuitry. The variable capacitor has a variable capacitance value that controls an output frequency of the DCO. The variable capacitance value is based on a first bank capacitance value provided by a first capacitor bank, a second bank capacitance value provided by a second capacitor bank, and an auxiliary bank capacitance value provided by an auxiliary capacitor bank. The noise reduction circuitry is adapted to adjust the variable capacitance value by adjusting the auxiliary bank capacitance value while maintaining at least one of the first bank capacitance value and/or the second bank capacitance value substantially unchanged. Prior to adjusting the variable capacitance value, the noise reduction circuitry may determine that a received input DCO control word transitions across a capacitor bank sensitive boundary.

    Abstract: According to the invention there is provided a method of producing an output signal including the steps of: providing an electronic oscillator having a switching arrangement allowing the oscillator to be switched between at least a first configuration having an associated first oscillator frequency and period, and a second configuration having an associated second oscillator frequency and period, and a control arrangement for controlling the switching arrangement; dithering the oscillator between at least the first configuration and the second configuration to produce the output signal, having an intermediate frequency and period, in which the dithering is performed by switching from the first configuration to the second configuration for a pre-determined subset of each output signal period over successive cycles of the output signal frequency.

    Abstract: A broad oscillation frequency range and good phase noise characteristic are achievable simultaneously by an oscillation circuit and a resonance circuit connected to the oscillation circuit. The resonance circuit includes an inductor element connected to the oscillation circuit, a first variable capacitance section connected to the inductor element, and a second variable capacitance section connected in parallel to the first variable capacitance section. The first variable capacitance section includes a first variable capacitive element connected to the inductor element, and a second variable capacitive element connected in parallel to the first variable capacitive element. The first variable capacitive element changes its capacity value based on a control voltage and a first reference voltage. The second variable capacitive element changes its capacity value based on the control voltage and a second reference voltage. The first reference voltage and the second reference voltage are controlled based on the capacity value of the second variable capacitance section.

    Abstract: Systems for controlling the frequency of the output signal of a controllable oscillator (202) in a frequency synthesizer (200) are provided. One such system comprises a controllable oscillator (202) and a frequency control circuit (208). The controllable oscillator (202) is configured to generate an output signal that has a predefined frequency. The controllable oscillator (202) is also configured with a plurality of operational states that are controlled by the frequency control circuit (208). Each operational state of the controllable oscillator (202) defines a distinct frequency for the output signal of the controllable oscillator (202). The frequency control circuit (208) receives the output signal of the controllable oscillator (202) and determines the distinct frequency for the output signal that best approximates the predefined frequency. The frequency control circuit (208) may also provide a control signal to the controllable oscillator (202) that is configured to change the controllable oscillator (202) to the operational state corresponding to the distinct frequency that best approximates the predefined frequency.

    Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator (600) including an active oscillator circuit (610), an inductor, and capacitive circuits is disclosed. The capacitive circuits are selectively turned on and off to control the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator (600). Particularly, the inductor and the capacitors in the capacitive circuits form LC circuits that provide feedback to the active oscillator circuit (610). To avoid damage to the switches in the capacitive circuits, the capacitive circuits further comprise resistors (622). The resistors can be configured in several different ways so that the voltage-controlled oscillator (600) can have a high degree of reliability, and a wide tuning range with constant phase noise performance.
