Abstract
A frequency synthesizer employing a new digital-frequency measurement metho d in a feedback loop is described. The synthesizer features high-frequency resolution and a high operating frequency. The mostly digital nature of the synthesizer and related voltage-controlled oscillator requirements also ma ke the synthesizer suitable for integration. Models for the synthesizer are developed and experimental results from a prototype are given.
