Abstract

See full text

A phase locked loop frequency synthesizer is arranged to provide a target frequency output signal for a radio transmitter or receiver. The synthesizer comprises: a voltage controlled oscillator (2) operating at a first frequency; a first, fixed frequency divider to provide a second frequency, a pre-scaler to provide a variable frequency division of said second frequency to produce a third frequency, said pre-scaler comprising: a second frequency divider (14) connected to said first output (12) and providing a second output at a second frequency; and a phase detector (4) controlling said voltage controlled oscillator (2) on the basis of a comparison between a reference signal and a signal dependent on said third frequency; wherein the synthesizer is configured so that said first output (10, 12) provides said target frequency output signal.
