ABSTRACT:
A method of generating a quadrature local oscillator (LO) frequencies is provided. In this method, a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency can be mixed with a divided version of the VCO frequency to generate mixed signals. A lower sideband of the mixed signals can be selected for the quadrature LO frequencies to minimize the occurrence of spurs. Notably, the divided version is 1/N of the VCO frequency and the VCO frequency is a radio frequency (RF) channel frequency times a ratio N/(N−1).
