Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for synthesizing a frequency using a D-flip flop are provided to recover a synchronization state at high speed by feeding back an error and correcting the error when the synchronization is released. A frequency synthesizer includes a separating unit(120), an IF signal generator(130,131), and a D-flip flop frequency acquisition unit(140). A separating unit separates an output signal of an oscillator of a phase locked loop into two signals with phase difference of 90 degrees. The IF signal generator generates two IF signals by mixing the reference frequency of the phase-locked loop with two separated signals. The D-flip flop frequency acquisition unit applies two IF signals to the D- flip flop. The D-flip flop frequency acquisition unit controls the oscillator frequency based on the polarity of the phase difference of two applied signals.
