ABSTRACT:
A frequency synthesizer is described illustrating a system and method for modulation. In particular, the frequency synthesizer includes a control circuit for producing a plurality of input signals that is scalable to a frequency profile. Each of the input signals includes a slope and a direction of the slope. A higher order accumulator block is coupled to the control circuit and receives the plurality of input signals. The higher order accumulator block includes at least two accumulators. The higher order accumulator block sums the plurality of input signals to generate a standard curve that is non-linear. A frequency spreading control pattern generation modulator is coupled to the higher order accumulator block and modulates the standard curve to generate the desired frequency profile.
