ABSTRACT:
A terminal includes at least one wireless communication application module (1) and a plurality of further application modules (4, 5, 6, 8). Multiple radio frequency clock signals are generated for the different modules having respective clock frequency characteristics and including at least first and second clock frequencies that are not integral multiples nor sub-multiples of each other nor of a third frequency. The clock generation comprises reference frequency means (14), fractional-N phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer means (15) responsive to the reference frequency means, and different automatic frequency control means for adjusting clock frequencies relative to received signals.The reference frequency means (14) is arranged to supply a common reference frequency signal to a plurality of the fractional-N phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer means (17, 18, 19, 25, 26, 41,42) that supply the first and second clock frequencies respectively for the application modules. Selective activation means (30,52) selectively activates and de-activates the phase lock loop means as required by the corresponding application module or modules.
