CONCEPTUAL DESCRIPTION OF A FAMILY OF FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZERS

Abstract

A family of frequency synthesizers is described. Each member of the family generates one of many equally-spaced frequencies by utilizing identical modules, the number of which is related to the number of possible frequencies. For any design in the family which uses frequency division in the modules, there exists a dual design which utilizes frequency multiplication. Block diagrams and formulas are included which may be useful in designing frequency synthesizers for communication system applications.
